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.

    The mask wearing snail made me smile Sharon and the brave wee sparrow leaping off the cactus, little legs straight made me chuckle 😁
