A to Z Challenge V is for Verdant April 25, 2016

My walk to a verdant park.
 
 
Yesterday I took a walk in downtown
 Lake Oswego. Past a huge hole in the ground
that evidently will have about 200 units above
ground floor retail. It's a contentious project since the off street below ground parking only allows parking for 150 cars.
 
 
 
Walking past that construction I met up
with Mr and Mrs Mallard...

 
such cuties and looking for a hand out...

 
we had a nice chat and I apologized for not having any duck food. Walking further I came to a little park alongside the lake spotting some yellow iris .

 
I do miss the verdant greens
of the rainy Pacific Northwest.
And then ahah!  

 
Baby Canada geese and
two protective mothers!
 
 
I watched their attentive encouragement...
 
 

hustling the little goslings towards the water

and away from me... 

 
 
 
and I listened to their sweet songs...

 
and watched their little tails wag
back and forth as they swam away...

 
This last image is a interesting sculpture
at another park by the lake.... 
Have a super day and I'll see you tomorrow!
