Our World


Happy Monday! 

Our world or my world, George's Creek is one of our local walks and a nearby creek that leads into our lake.  We have many choices for our walks, many on the local fire roads. Some official trails that I believe are maintained by the local Sierra Club, George's Creek is a maintained trail along the creek and leads to the lake. 

These are images from our walk on the trail. We saw lots of daylilies, Turkey Vultures flying high in the sky and a group of Wood Ducks and some fish in the creek. 



A female wood duck, they was a family but they went into hiding.


Daylilies along the creek's edge.




I am not sure what kind of fish this is, it was kind of big.


 A view of the creek looking a little muddy from recent rain.  We saw a Great Blue Heron but it was too shy to pose for a photo.



Sunlight on George's Creek.


Turkey Vultures a common sighting around our neighborhood and the lake. 








Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

An interesting and rewarding walk I am sure. And to think there are people who think the mall is the best place to visit!

Hello Eileen,

Beautiful walking area! I love the daylilies. It looks like one I have in my garden, and that's the orginal daylily who not have been crossed with others. Today there are very many new daylilies.

Happy Monday!

Another lovely place to walk. Those herons can be so shy sometimes.

Such a beautiful walk...What a lovely fish, the water must have been crystal clear!

Yogi♪♪♪ said...

What a great place for a walk. Great blue herons seem to be shy by their nature. I see them everywhere I go around the USA.

Penelope Notes said...

Your first flower shot is perfection!

Great set of photos especially that one of the fish. It is so clear.

diane b said...

Jo said...

Excellent capture of the fish in the water, Eileen. And I would love to stroll along George's Creek in that dappled sunlight.

Jeevan said...

Lovely capture from the trail and you got wonderful light to take brilliant shots. The creek seems to take peaceful ride to lake…

Lynne said...

Pretty coloring in the Wood Duck . . .
I always favor those muted, soft tones . . .

Starting to see the summer wind down around here . . .
i think the flowers are saying . . .
What’s with all this HOT!
Cooler nights has been a treat . . .
How about East . . . still steamy . . .

Lea said...

Hi Eileen! What a beautiful place to hike around in. Great photos also!

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...

I love those orange daylilies, Eileen! They used to grow in my garden in New York. The deer love to eat lilies here, so I can't plant them any longer.

Nancy Chan said...

So nice to see the daylilies growing and flowering abundantly.
