As I was driving up my driveway this evening, this quail in a tree caught my eye. I don’t usually see them up in the trees – they’re usually running across the yard. She stayed still long enough for me to grab my camera and take some shots.
We have a ground cover that is flowering and is covering areas of our yard. It’s pretty while it lasts.
And a golden sunset to end the day. 🙂
Tomorrow I leave to go to Portland to watch my granddaughter compete in a gymnastics competition. I don’t have a laptop so I won’t be able to do my daily post until I return. Rest assured, I will be taking my daily photographs and will post each day when I get back.

Through My Lens 
Beautiful. I like the third one the most. Have a great trip and good luck and best wishes for your granddauther in her competition.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks so much. I’m excited to get away for a couple of days. I feel like a bear emerging from its den in the spring. It will be nice to get away for a couple of days.
Loved each image….have a fun time with family and enjoy your granddaughter:) As always thank you for sharing your incredible photos:)
Thank you. It will be nice to have a couple of days in the “big city.” I don’t get to Portland often enough and it’s not so far away. I need to get out more. 🙂
I love all of the pics. Enjoy your time away. Good luck to your granddaughter.
Thanks, Judy. I’m excited to see Kainoa compete. She’s doing so well. She’s ranked #1 in the country in her age division. She does a type of gymnastics called “tramp and tumbling.” It’s different from the traditional gymnastics.
Love all the photos the first one specially, enjoy and luck to the Grand Daughter.
Thank you very much. I’ll be the one in the stands cheering the loudest.
Nice bird!
Thank you. They are interesting birds. They don’t fly very high when they do fly. They stay pretty close to the ground.
We don’t have quail around here, but I do have a couple of photos of ducks in a tree that I need to post. Have a great trip.
Thanks. I’m looking forward to getting out of town for a couple of days. A change of scenery is always good.
Beautiful … again, but what to except from you. Love the sunset photo. Quails – I never seen for real, not what I can remember. Have a fantastic weekend .. and I be here waiting.
Thanks, Viveka. I hadn’t seen quail until I moved here. We used to get partridge in Minnesota where I grew up.
Great shots. Enjoy your time away!
Thanks, Carissa. I will enjoy getting away for a couple of days. I always get a little antsy after winter to get away for a bit. Even if its just for a couple of days.
Have fun Maralee. Sure you will be the proud grandma taking pictures in the stands 🙂
Thanks. And you bet I will. I don’t know if I can get close enough to get any actions shots, but I’ll try. 🙂
