Although we regularly see and hear falcons, hawks and a lot of other birds in our neighborhood on really needs to take a bike ride to really get out to see more wildlife. There are lots of water fowl around the southern end of the San Francisco bay which is about 10 miles away via bike paths and a little bit of street riding.

fortunately we have all of that on our doorstep more or less...certainly within walking distance

Early afternoon. On a bike ride. Stopped for a rest on a bridge.

When I took the picture I never noticed the reflection of the clouds in the water. It was only after I got home and copied it from my cell phone. So sometimes you get a surprise. There's a little weir just farther up and it's usually surrounded with fishermen when the rainbow trout run up from Lake Superior to spawn in the spring and they jump the weir to go farther upstream.

An interesting flower in a tree from yesterday's walk. I started taking my camera on my afternoon walk with the dogs in their stroller so I could get some pictures I couldn't get with my iPhone. This is one of those types of photos.

Hollydolly,,, Could you tell us more about the house boats that are in your pictures?
Do they have kitchens, bathrooms?
Do people live in them year round?

Yes indeed, a Narrowboat can range from about 35 feet long and 70 feet long ( the latter ours)... and the easiest way to describe them is to say they have everything an RV has but on the water.. , and yes people live in them year round.

They have galley kitchens.. bedrooms, bathroom and shower rooms. Heating is usually wood burning stoves..
