Spring El Dorado Walking Experience

This is a typical squirrel found in great numbers at the El Dorado Park and especially in the Nature Center. He/she reminded me of "Squirrel Boy", my buddy in the backyard of our Kent house. Squirrel Boy loved pretzels smeared with peanut butter and dipped in birdseed. He was the biggest squirrel in our backyard forest. Gosh, I can't imagine why?!! He had the fluffiest tail ever!

These delicate pink flowers begged to have their photo taken. I couldn't resist.

I met Renee on an Alaska flight up to Seattle in December. Who knew the person in the seat next to me was going to be my weekly walking buddy?!! Let me introduce Renee, the park walking hottie!

Drought tolerant plants and trees line the paths along the El Dorado Park Nature Center like this one, which is going to seed. There were still many flowers on it, but lots of interesting pods as well.
