#WordlessWednesday: June is Great Outdoors Month

,

This is what happens when you enjoy the great outdoors…

Walking dogs on a trail
Get outdoors with friends and dogs

** Eagle images were graciously provided by my neighbor Diana who admins the Facebook group “BlueBell Court Eagles.” The eagles found a new nest so these are wonderful memories from June 2021.

See you on Sunday for the solstice and have a wonderful Wednesday!

  2. SUP looks like so much fun Terri. I don’t know how to swim, so I’d never try it. Being outdoors is good to nurture your soul. We had a gorgeous weekend, which followed on the heels of the mini heat wave last Wednesday and Thursday. Now we’re headed into 98F territory for Tuesday. I took advantage of the good weather and walked so much Friday and this weekend that I wore myself out all three days. I’ll stockpile the good-weather days for Winter. Watching birds fledge is fun. My neighbor had a couple of Mourning Doves build a nest in a mesh planter she left on her deck over the Winter. She watched them through her doorwall and had a bird’s eye view of the nest, feeding and care, then fledging of the young. She watched the “practice fledges” and knew they would soon be leaving.

    1. You love being outdoors as much as I do, Linda. How cool your friend had a birds eye view. Good for you to get some good walks in this weekend!

    1. Thank you, Toni! My parents really instilled the love of the outdoors in us kids, a legacy we have passed on to our own kids. I feel blessed.

  5. Terri,
    You’ve convinced me that I need to learn paddleboarding. The water looks so inviting to us in Tennessee right now (106 deg. heat index) and we need a fun way to cool off. What did you use to edit your banner photo? Great stuff! Joe

    1. Thank you, Joe! I suppose it is not wonderful to get outdoors in the heat, and I imagine your humidity is high, too…ick! Must be why I live in the west! Paddleboarding is super easy! I have PicMonkey premium account for my photo editing and it creates banners, signatures, etc. That top image of me sit-down paddling was edited with the Painnt app filter.

    1. I love the outdoors, Aletta. This morning I saw a bald eagle flying over our neighborhood with a raven chasing it. Kind of funny to see but fascinating to see them side by side in the air and realize just how much bigger the eagle is than the raven (which are good sized birds themselves).

  8. Cheers to your love for the great outdoors. Carry on. I’m sorry to say that Cincinnati is sweltering today – so I’m celebrate being the great indoorsman today.

    1. Thanks, Frank! I heard the west’s heat wave heading east. We’ve been rainy here in Eastern WA and today is sunny! Indoors is good too!

  9. Love the images. I adored my last dog, but he was too infirmed to go for walks. My new puppy–only 4 months old–already walks farther than I do. The Great Outdoors and dog walking–nothing better.

    1. Thank you, Jacqui! I love taking the dogs for walks. Poor Aero has allergies to the jungle of grasses now, so we keep in in for the time-being! Enjoy your new pup!

  10. Lots of great ways to enjoy late spring and early summer, Terri. That dog-walking photo looks like a lovely walk to take any dog on. Are dogs allowed off their leads on that walk?

    1. I took that photo of the trail behind the homes/properties across the street. I prefer to leave mine on the leash because some of the home owners don’t have fences I trust!

      1. In which case, that’s a good idea. Given how much dogs like to explore, I know my two would be all over those gardens.
