Bellevue Photographer | May 2012 Photo of the Month

I was on my way home tonight and on Highway 202, (Redmond-Fall City Road) and thankfully I was able to pull off the road at just the right spot, this mama and her nine ducklings were trying to cross and one little guy was having trouble jumping up on the middle barrier--thankfully, he finally was able to jump up on the barrier and join his family.  Whew!  It was tough trying to get people on the other side of the highway to stop.  My weekend would have been ruined had there been anything less than a perfect outcome--and there was, they all made it across safely.

A small sampling of my morning visitors

Below is a small sampling of the morning visitors I get right outside my office window--and I love it! I could do without the brown squirrels, because they are so aggressive, but they're entertaining too! (click photos to enlarge.)

And there's more...


Believe it or not, I have more, but will save them for another post.

Meet Gracie Claire and Coco

If you are a follower of my blog, you've seen Gracie Claire and Coco before, however they weren't Gracie Claire and Coco then. They were a pair of Mallards that just showed up one day.

We thought they were just stopping by like all the other wildlife we're so lucky to see on a daily basis, but they've since become residents and now they have names. Paul and I have become very fond of this pair.

They've been coming to the house every day for over a week and they are smart, they know where to find us and what room we're in and if we don't see them, they will knock with their bills on the back slider waiting for us to come out there.

If we leave the slider open, they'll walk right in and make themselves at home--and that is not allowed! (We're working on that...)

So without further delay, meet Gracie Claire and Coco. (These photos are not the best due to the grids I have on my windows, but I have *NEWS* about this tomorrow!!)

Happy Saturday--Another morning visitor(s)!

I woke up this morning and right outside my office window were a pair of Mallards!

Have a nice weekend!
