Birthday walk in the park

Posted by lisaonthebeach on

Last Wednesday was my birthday. I decided to take the day off and spend the morning at our Desert Museum. Although I didn’t find many animal photo opps, it was a beautiful morning, a comfortable temperature, and I got some great nature photos. Happy Day 😊

    Gorgeous photos. Though it is very beautiful here, I do miss the desert landscape at times, so appreciate these pics very much. I always say there is a certain majesty to the desert. Quotes are also awesome. Happy belated birthday, Lisa! 🎉🥳🎂💛

      Thank you, Jeff! My favorite place is the beach, but I have a love for the warm, dry, open desert landscape. All the sun (almost every day of the year) makes me happy 😊 And thanks for the happy wishes!

        You’re welcome, Lisa. Always! Ah, your feelings about the beach resonate with me. Is my fav place too. Oh, yes, my time in the desert is remembered well, and fondly. 🌞

    I have 3 favorite photos on today’s post: the hummingbird, the bobcat with his tongue out, and the tree with 9 bird-blossoms!
