Fly Away




We had a poor little hummingbird lost up in our tower today. I tried coaxing it out but it wouldn't listen. He was flapping his little wings so fast and just kept hitting the window. I think once the sun went down he flew away...


...at least that is what I am telling myself.



This trail lives up to its name. It's a killer!





So much to see! I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Makes up for the heat of July and August when everything hides and wilts.










I am so glad that I took my camera with me today. I love watching the wildlife.




I see lots of rabbits - sometimes a road runner or two - different kinds of birds - and lizards but today a special treat...




... I was taking a picture of St. George off in the distance and turned around and this guy was just watching me. I didn't have time to change the setting on my camera ( it was on landscape) so just took these before he wandered off.

Happy Trails







To the water tank.










Yesterday when I went for my walk I was wishing I had my camera with me. This morning I took it with me and was so glad that I did. Coral Canyon has about 20 miles of trails. Most of the time I walk on the trails close by and in and around the homes - but when I have the time I take the trail up past the water tank and across the top of the mountain. Ron always tells me I shouldn't go up there alone but it is beautiful and I see so much that I ignore him and do it anyway.
