Toad house

A toad climbed far up to an abandoned bird house.

Baby mouse

Sweet little mouse looking for a morsel was relocated to an area where there would be plenty of food, water and warm places to make a home.

Just happened along the eagles sitting in the osprey nest before the ospreys returned. Always awesome to see eagles up close.

I was humbled that she allowed her picture taken without judgement.

This was such a beautiful site as I was walking along the trail across from this gorgeous building that I could not resist the urge to capture its beauty
