WHOO HOO!!!! I have passed the halfway point on the Good Omens needlepoint project!!!
In other creative efforts, I hated the drawing for Wednesday's sketch group meeting, so you're never going to see that here. However, the Friday one was most enjoyable:
Meanwhile, in the very important dachshund world, Truman and Pippin met up at a park with the Tri-City Wiener Walkers:
Pippin greeted Finn, and then he greeted Madison.
It was a fine group all round and we enjoyed an hour long stroll. Truman did not get his picture taken, because he is antisocial. Oh, well.
Part of my walking efforts took me to non-virtual Bateman Island:
I got in a little birding while there. This is a Bewick's Wren:
And this is a Song Sparrow:
These are not birds. They are enormous spiders which have webs all over a grove of locust trees. Hundreds and hundreds of webs throughout the entire grove, at all heights. Suffice to say that I did not go birding in there.
I did look at birds from the beach that has a lovely view of the Columbia River.
WAY out there I could see Great Egrets, American White Pelicans, and a Great Blue Heron, but they were all too far for photos.
One bird that was not too far was a Caspian Tern which was zooming around, diving for fish. It's very hard to track flying terns, but after a few dozen failed attempts, I managed to get one decent shot:
And that's it for this week's report, other than two photos of Pippin and Truman on the sofa, which I'm adding just because I can:
May you all have a good week, and stay safe out there!
