About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Birds... angry birds...

Okay, okay... not all of them were angry, but some were! But, let's start from the beginning... In the beginning it was a sunny, but hazy morning and the sky wasn't blue at all... But the bird's silhouettes looked very beautiful against slightly pink-ish background ;)

 
And I won't stay in one place today, but I will jump back and forth between City Park a day before and Cherry Creek Park a day later... Hazy and smoky sky was replaced with nice and blue sky and even more than a week after the flooding the water in Cherry Creek Reservoir was still a good 5 feet above normal (improvement over 10 feet a week ago, huh?)... But we enjoyed a nice reflection in the water that covered a good half of the parking lot ;)





This snow egret didn't like me at all and allowed only one picture to be taken. But I have no complaints...
 

The bald eagle flew over my head so silently that I almost missed this magnificent bird...


And now we are getting closer to some angry birds, although this one didn't show any temper.





A couple of pelicans moved slowly in the middle of the lake. They looked just gorgeous!


The red-winged blackbird walked cautiously over the wet grass, looking for something to bite.



Calling for a mate (this is not an angry bird... yet...)...



Soaring during a morning hunt...



And now the angry blackbird ;) It was really angry about something...



Have no idea what upset this blackbird so badly, but it loudly announced it to the whole world ;)






Same pelicans but now joined a large flock of other birds...



Pictures were taken on May 04-21, 2023.
