On a fifth grade field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium the guide was talking to us and we were half listening while watching over her shoulder this otter and seagull eating.
Did the seagull steal his meal?Because she definitely has something -
And later he looks like he doesn't have much - though he was still on his back maybe clutching something.
Too bad I didn't have an extra long zoom lens!!
Her dog is walked by others, and sometimes getting out of bed is a huge struggle. So now I'm just watching my cat hiss at the dog out the window and knowing that I can walk around the block tomorrow watching the birds fly north and the new blossoms bud.
It is absolutely beautiful this spring and there is color everywhere! For some reason the kids on the playground were having a good time without the anger that is there sometimes. 
I had such a good day I gave all the fifth graders a Mustang buck. This idea our principal Mrs. DeMott has of giving out bucks to good kids instead of just telling the trouble makers to knock it off is a great one. I'm being less and less of a witch and looking at the cute, funny, sometimes more quiet children that come to play at recess.
This is the infamous Chica, a stray that the Nausin's adopted who can find trouble anywhere. Here we were all surprised because she just stayed under the table for the whole shower. (What's wrong?)- found out she had a fungus in her ear which was inhibiting her balance.
We see cats in various places, windowsills, gates, benches, trees, running across the street - But this is the first on a house vent. Maybe it was a warm spot destined to get the sun first.
Sarabi loves looking outside. We have one window without a screen and she'll jump out onto the roof, explore and jump back in. This is actually rare to see her on the floor. She also loves ice-cream, if you dish up a bowl she wants to know what flavor it is - and maybe just a wee sample.
This dove must be deaf because she made her nest just above the kindergarten door. There are a few periods when the kids go inside or to lunch, but mostly she just ignores everybody. No sign of the little ones yet.
Laura is my walking partner and friend. Last August she asked if I wanted to walk with her and it really has been fun. You never really get to know someone until you walk (or live) with them. I have known her for a few years and worked with her in church but I've discovered what a really nice person she is. I mean this lady is always busy helping someone out. Making rolls for the teachers, catering a wedding, bringing lunch to nieces and nephews, her children, running errands for friends and neighbors, feeding the cat-dog-watering-pick up mail, this lady does it all.
Unless you are outside you just cannot feel what a great day it is. Laura's mother-in-law wanted some pictures of her tulips because she was going to be gone. There are really beautiful.
