Mask up Everyone!


 I made it to the garden for an early morning walk where even the plastic snails were wearing masks!  I thought this little guy was so cute in his mask and pointing to the masked snail.


I climbed up to the high viewpoint so I could get my look at good old Camelback Mountain.  A few of the trails were closed but, I walked most of them before I left.


I saw this little fellow contemplating a leap off of this cactus.


And, then he decided to take the plunge!

Thank you everyone for all the fabulous Birthday wishes.  
In spite of everything, the day was a delight.

The first photo of the little guy and the snail made my day. Then I scrolled down and saw the bird leaping in to flight... amazing shot Sharon!

I agree with Andy, you made some stunning photo's today! That mask on a sculpture is very funny and the little boy makes it excellent. The bird you captured so well captured at the right moment!

I think that bird is a Cassin's sparrow or some close relative.

I love the masked blue snail. It looks like the boy has a camera and is taking a photo. I love the closeup of the little bird on the cactus.

The masked snail and little boy, what a great image that is. The bird taking the leap is perfect, it makes me think of a skier.

Masks in places where there is a good amount of positive cases is good to see.
