I'm having a funny brain moment. I was pretty sure I posted yesterday but apparently not...lol. I shall have to catch up on posts tomorrow as I am just about ready for bed.
It was a lovely sunny day today. Spring was definitely in the air! Won't be for long though - as we are due cooler temps and rain tomorrow and Saturday. I did actually have my windows open today for a little while to air out the house. Gasp!
I spent a lot of the day walking. Paid for it later with my knee and ankle, but it was really lovely. Tomorrow I just plan on taking a shorter walk and then catching up on housework and some other stuff. Saturday looks to be rainy from the start so I might just spend the day sorting out some of my own things.
I'll have to catch up with my phone photos tomorrow. Today I'll post a photo of a lovely Pileated Woodpecker that I saw on my walk today. I actually saw two of them! Woody Woodpecker, Looney Toons cartoon character, was based on this woodpecker. It's really quite large and has a distinctive sound. I've included a link to a Youtube video below - hope it works! I love seeing these woodpeckers.

Something I will miss when Dad's home is finally sold and gone is the local woodpeckers that sometimes appeared in the garden. They never came too close to the house but there were always binoculars to hand.

We are lucky to have some of the smaller ones visit our garden. They are always fun to see.
DeleteWhat a lovely picture. I hope that your knee and ankle feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYesterday while walking, my friend and I could hear a woodpecker. Try as we might we couldn't spot it though.
ReplyDeleteThey really can be hard to spot sometimes especially when they are up high and you feel as though you're going to break your neck by tilting your head back that far!
DeleteNow I want to laugh like Woody Woodpecker did! :D
