Bird Watching – Sort of

Thursday, October 20th, 2016

This week’s walks didn’t have a lot of surprises, well, except that the weather was a lot nicer than I expected it to be.

A couple of years ago I saw this crane that was trying very hard to swallow a fish that was about 12 times bigger than his neck. I think it was a bird about the size of one I posted a picture of a couple of weeks ago. That bird came right up to me on the pathway.

Today I saw  bird perched on a small structure in the edge of the lake at Heiwa Park. I thought it was interesting, so I stopped to watch him for a little while. He was stretching and shaking his wings and head and then just standing very still. No idea what that was all about.

Here are a couple of the pictures I took:

Hard working guys on my walk

Thursday, October 13th, 2016

I have been seeing some interesting things on my walks these days and have posted a photo or two along with a video.

I thought it might be nice to share a few photos of part of the pathway where I walk, and I saw these hard working guys as I was getting near the end of my walk.

My walk goes through some forests, some field areas, and it also is along a wood-lined road.

Anyway, here are the pictures from today’s walk!

Okay we’re on our way!

The new semester is going along now and I’m happy that my computer classroom situation has been resolved.

These days I already walk a lot! So, having a narrow, long classroom is not necessary for me 😉

This past week on one of my regular walks, I saw this little mushroom trail and thought it was interesting.
