Serene Scenery Sunday

Greetings to all!  It's me, Maggie, here with Serene Scenery Sunday.  Now that Cammie showed you some scenes from our walks and what we (eventually) do after a walk, I thought I'd show you some of the pretty things we see on our walks.

While we're out in the open fields, we see and hear a lot of Western Meadowlarks.  We see them poking around in the prairie grasses:

... and perching up in trees:

Sometimes, we see Kingbirds. Here is an Eastern Kingbird:

And here is a Western Kingbird:

Sometimes we even see Red-Winged Blackbirds! We heard this male singing and singing to his mate:

Can you see his red wing? Mom looked around and eventually saw Mrs. Red-Winged Blackbird!

They look a lot different than the males, don't they?!?

Here's a clover blossom that Mom liked for some reason:

I can't explain it.

Oh. And since all of our walks start by us going out in front of Ao4 Headquarters, here are a couple shots of our Peonies:

If you'd like to see more shots of the Peonies, please visit our Garden 2014 album at this link.

Unless Cam has anything to add, I think that's a wrap for this week.

"I've got nothing.  Mom, on the other hand, seems to have cantaloupe."
"Mmm... cantaloupe!  Now THAT'S a mouthful of serenity!"

Have a wonderful Sunday - and remember to enjoy the serenity all around you!

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
