Tulip and I went for a walk today on the Elk Grove Creek again. It runs through residential and business areas of Elk Grove. Some of it is a wide waterway. Some of it is just a muddy trickle of water, but in the areas with enough water, waterfowl are always present.
Tulip and I went for a walk today on the Elk Grove Creek again. It runs through residential and business areas of Elk Grove. Some of it is a wide waterway. Some of it is just a muddy trickle of water, but in the areas with enough water, waterfowl are always present.
It was overcast and
cool, with some fog, but there were already people walking on either side of
the waterway. The geese were still bedded in the grass, just their dark heads
sticking up above the grass. The ducks were doing take offs and landings. male
mallards after the females. I also heard a choir of frogs, croaking and
answering in return.
Today I also saw a Great White Egret.
It stood very still as we approached and it might have stayed there, but Tulip
was getting excited as we approached. With a great stroke of the wings it flew
away, following the water.
I made up this image
of fog, water and birds in Photoshop to capture the memory.
