Nature Flashback Friday

 

 

I'm not sure if you heard, but there was a strong earthquake where we used to live in California. All our friends are ok, the electricity is back on, and things are working there way back to normal. Today though, we wanted to do a Nature Friday Flashback about the beautiful trees in Humboldt County...

~~~~~~~~

 

Happy Friday everyone! Today, in honor of the howliday season, I thought we would take a little look at part of our local Redwood forest!

 

 

Such tall trees..

 

 and what beautiful greenery on the forest floor!

 

 

 

 

Even the tree tops are a beautiful forest green!

 

 

 

I'm off to finish my Peppermint Puppachino.Thanks for joining me for our little look at our Redwood Forest.

We are wishing all our Blogville pals who celebrate a very Merry Christmas!!! 

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

Have a Seussical Day!

 

 Happy Birthday Dr.  Seuss!!

Today, we thought the best way to celebrate 8 years of celebrating

 would be to go through the archives and posting  favorite pictures of our celebrations througg the years. 

 (to visit the post, click on the title of the post mentioned)

 

 The first recorded tribute to Dr. Seuss was in 2014 with Dory posing as Dory Lou Who on

 Black and White Sunday on Dr. Seuss's Birthday

 

 

 Arty was a big fan of Dr. Seuss and led the celebration in 2015 on

Happy Dr. Seuss Day

 

 

 

 

Both Arty and I celebrated in 2016 with 

Happy Dr. Seuss Day!

 

 

I must have been telling the future in the 2017 post,

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

 

 

 

 

A young Rosy joined us in 2018 for 

Celebrating Dr. Seuss Day!

 

 

 

I told my own Seussical Tale in our 2019 post,

Happy Dr Seuss Day!

 

 

 

 We did a Red Fish, Blue Fish twist when celebrating in 2020's

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

post.

 

 

Lastly, in 2021, Sunny joined the celebration with

Seussical Sisters on Dr. Seuss Day
 

 

There you have it, eight fun filled years of 

Seussical Fun. We enjoyed every single one and are looking forward to many more years of celebrating!

 

 

We are celebrating this special day by

joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the

Dr. Seuss Blog Hop 

 AND

Nature Flashback Friday - Arcata Marsh

In our final California Flashback, I thought 

we would visit my most favorite place to take a walk, Arcata Marsh! 

 

 

 

 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!!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~

 Extra! Extra! 

We have arrived in New Mexico!

This is the backyard where we are

staying now. We can't wait to get back to visiting everyone next week!

Nature Friday Flashback - Pink Dahlias

Today's flashback is about my most favorite color and my most favorite flowers!

 

Rosy here reporting from Sequoia Gardens to let you know the Dahlias are blooming like crazy! In fact, they are blooming so much it will probably take up most of our August Nature Fridays! This week let's take a look at all the different pinkish variation dahlias I found!

Here we have a pink dahlia with pointy petals...

Don't worry, there are lots of pink ones with curved petals too!

We found a few different pink dahlias with yellow mixed in too!

This one kinda looks like a Mama hugging a baby dahlia..

...and these look like dahlia fire works, don't you think??

Here are our favorite pinkies...

These pink petals almost looks painted onto this pretty bloom!

This pink is so dark, it's almost purple.

We also like the way the petals are spiraling in the middle.

Mama and I both picked this one as our favorite...it is almost the pawfect pink!!

 Thanks for stopping by and we hope these flowers helped bring color and warmth into your Winter Day!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow we hit the road for New Mexico!!

We will have one more flashback post next Friday 

(but we'll make sure Mama includes another picture of us). We can't wait to catch up with everybody!

Flashback Nature Friday - A Walk in the Forest

Today we're flashing back to a nice walk in the forest Jakey took in 2019.....

 

Jakey here this week for Nature Friday!

I thought you might like to tag along for a "Jakey, Mama and Daddy" walkie!  While it's nice to walk with Rosy and Arty, I really enjoy a nice walk with just Mama and Daddy sometimes too!

I decided we should visit a trail through a forest close to our house (I am a much better walker than a car passenger)!

 

The leaves in our corner of Blogville are mostly on the ground but thankfully we also have lots of trees that keep their leaves all year round.

Of course, Mama had her camera. I didn't think she was ever going stop taking pictures!

Finally, I asked Daddy to tell her to stop so we could get back to our walk!

We had the trail almost all to ourselves and it was so very peaceful. Hearing the sound of our paws crunching leaves was so relaxing!

Mama pointed out this cute little mushroom colony, I wonder if it's a fairy village?

 

Thanks for joining me for my walkie today...
I sure hope you get out to see some nature this weekend!
