This is the look I gave Mama earlier this week after a few days of cloudy/wet weather in a row. I have to say, going potty in the rain gets old real quick and for some reason Mama and Daddy have this "no potty in the house" policy they INSIST we stick to....
But I digress, when the sun came out on Tuesday I was thrilled when Mama suggested a Mama and Me hike at Arcata Marsh!
It was a beautiful day, and the morning sun even made the browns look cheerful!!
I have to admit, there was a spring in my step and flop to my ears as we hit the trail!
As usual, the birds were amazing!!
From the ducks.....
To the shorebirds!
Plus, we also had a very cool sighting of a...
Red tailed hawk!!!
Looks like he had a rough 2020 too, doesn't it??
These three ducks look pretty comfy as they enjoy nice nap in the sun don't they?
The rains have fooled some of the flowers into blooming. I'm hoping this means we'll see an early Spring.
But Mama says I shouldn't get too excited because most of the scenery still
looks like Winter (Winter in California anyway BOL).
Unfortunately, California Winters mean mud.
As much as I enjoyed my morning walk through the Arcata Marsh....
I don't know if I can say the same about the bath I got when we got home. But being outside and feeling the sunshine on my furs as I hiked with Mama was totally worth it!!!
We hope you get some sunshine in your part of Blogville this weekend!!
Hi Rosy, and HAppy Nature Friday. Gail and I absolutely loved your walk through the marsh. All those birdies, and such lovely watery photos. But humans can be very difficult can't they? I mean there's always the 'no potty in the house rule', but also the 'no muddy paws in the house' rule, which means way too many baths at this time of year...
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

Love your pics today, what a supurr outdoor adventure! Thanks for hosting x
ReplyDeleteThe marsh looks very interesting sweet Rosy and we're glad you enjoyed your walk!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "That looked like the best day ever! Up until the bath part, anyhow ..."
ReplyDeleteI had fun going on a walk with you and your mom. Yes the bath was worth it to be out and about with mom. I agree.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your siblings and your wonderful mom. ♥
Wow! Thank you for the great pictures! We loved seeing the birds and scenery. Some of the marshland here in WNY looks a lot like that in late autumn.
ReplyDeleteStay warm, pups!
Thank you my nieces and nephews for the bday wishes...no worries Aunty makes sure to celebrate the entire month of January
ReplyDeleteHugs Aunty HiC
So many great photos
ReplyDeleteRosy, your first picture put a big smile on my face, pretty girl. the Mom
ReplyDeleteWe haven't been for a walk for a few days 'cause Mom's a wimp and hates the cold even when it doesn't feel that cold to us. You look like you had a GREAT walk. Lucy and Xena
That looks like a great place for a walk. You saw lots of nice birdies too. We've had about 2 months of solid grey skies but are promised to see some sun tomorrow. It just might blind us since we aren't used to seeing it. BOL!
ReplyDeleteThose birds look delishus. Uhh, I mean very cool. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo matter where you go you are the prettiest thing there.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!!! A bath?!? Sorry about that Rosy. BTW, your mama is a great photographer.
ReplyDeleteYour marsh was amazing Rosy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a walk that was well worth waiting for, Rosy!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are gorgeous. I love the ducks' reflections. Your "pigtails" kill me!
ReplyDeleteOh gurl, I TOTALLY GETS IT!!! I hates wet feets! And tryin' to find a SPOT when the rain has washed all the smells away....impossible! sigh. Wells, you can come down here, we missed most of the rain, and only gots a little. no mud. sigh. I gots to say, looks like the bath might have been worth it! MIGHT have been......😉
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
