Kids Creek Sunday walk..........................

I didn't expect to do another post so quickly. In fact I was having a PJ day. Then Gerry said did I want to go for a walk behind Kohls. Took me 2 seconds to change haha. We had to go to the store to get milk anyway so off we went. Well it turned out to be worthwhile. They had done some work down there since last Gabby and I went there a couple of months, or was it last Fall? I forget. Anyway they have put in another path up the hill towards the YMCA. So we took that one just to check it out. I guess overall it's maybe 1 1/2 miles to walk now if you want to. I liked the sky.


Again, the wildflowers are lush. We had rain this morning so no work in the garden today and the paths there are gravel.



They have put in some interpretive boards to help tell us about the area. Kids creek is a tiny stream that runs through and eventually joins the Boardman to flow into the Bay. It cleans the water as it goes. There are fish in there and they also keep a small pond stocked with fish. Fishing is allowed but they ask that a child under 12 accompany any adults to fish. Nice.




The new trail goes up through what was once the fields for the Olson Buffalo herd.


It was quiet down there today. Probably because we didn't have kids with us. I have usually always had Tristen or Reina or Cooper with us so that we hardly saw any wildlife ever. Today was a good day.


It's hard to get pictures of Redwing's because they flit around and are always busy.
Then I could not believe my eyes. I looked to my right and saw this beautiful lady who seemed just as shocked to see me.

Goodness, I interrupted her lunch.

She was like uhoh......we stared at each other neither daring to move


She sauntered off and so did I after thanking her for her picture.'
We saw this guy taking a break.

I felt we had done well for being a spur of the moment thing.
Anyone know what these are? They grow on a tree not a bramble.....I had to add to this and say it is a Mulberry tree/bush.


The deer was down in the marshy area not in the field where there is loads of grasses and flowers


I could not resist the daisies

Buttercups


We walked over to the Pond and where the creek goes through the other side.



There were two men fishing and oooooh nooooo no kids haha

Lots of Milk Weed scented the air, smells like Lilac.



We walked back to the car, it was getting quite warm by then. Stopped at the store and home again jiggety jig. Always count it a success when we see wildlife and if nothing else some good exercise, well as good as a slow walk can be I suppose but beats sitting on the couch right?
