Among the Flora and Fauna

On Saturday, I did my usual run through HB Central Park. While there, I was able to see how the little coot family is doing.


Getting bigger and losing their fuzzy little pinfeathers. Then, my neighbor Susan came over and gave me a jacket that her MIL got her. Susan works in her husband's racing shop, so she wears jeans and such. So she offered it to me, and I snagged it!!!


It's a snowy white boucle jacket made by Graff. It has black stitching around the neckline and flap pockets.


 

                                   Here's a better look at the fabric and the stitching.


On Sunday, we went to a picnic in a local park. I have been running around this park for many years, but I stick to the perimeter. It's called Mile Square Park, and it's a mile each side, making 4 miles for an entire lap. I never went into the interior.


There is an attraction called Palm Island. In the middle of several ponds, there is a gazebo on an island that you cross a few bridges to get to.



               Here are some views from the gazebo, looking out in various directions.





There were a couple of people fishing, and lots of picnickers. Lots of runners and walkers as well. On the way out, we met this fine fat fellow.


                 A Canadian goose !!! He was pretty friendly - people = food in goose-ese.

So now it's back to work. Here's what I am wearing.I have to drive across town for a meeting at the Orange County Public Health offices in Santa Ana.


A nice, comfy NY and Company blouse, with white Worthington slacks. I wore my Cookie Lee silver and abalone necklace.


I carried my Neiman Marcus teal suede bag. I should have used my mint/aqua one that I got at the fair, but I didn't think about it. I wore Dolce Vita suede cutout sandal/booties.


                        On my left arm, a wedding set and a silver/crystal costume bracelet.


On my right, a seraphinite bracelet from Southwest Indian Foundation and a blue topaz ring.
