I want to use up the bird seed I’d bought for Mom’s birdfeeder. It’s been fun watching the critters that come:

Herons and Vultures
A couple weeks ago I saw a most interesting sight.
Walking by the Grand River I spied a Great Blue Heron. I then realized there were four of them. As I was on a treed trail above the river I had a hard time getting a great shot. While I was looking five turkey vultures landed on a sandbar right by the herons. They pretty much ignored one another till they all flew away.
(Note: I’ve been adding to my “Birds and Flowers” post.)
An evening walk
Got some nice pictures this evening. I’m especially thrilled to get pictures of the Baltimore oriole. (Click the i in bottom left corner for description)
Birds & Flowers
May 4, 2017
My annual “day off.” This year it grey cool and wet day. I visited Greenway Garden Centre and Belgian Garden Centre. So nice to be among the flowers and the green growing things!
I also started a mandala. Richard Rohr wrote about using the mandala as a spiritual practice, a kind of prayer. Here is what I’m working on.
