This is yet another sunrise view of the Columbia River as I walked before work. Honestly, if you could see this each morning before work – why wouldn’t you?

Not all the animals I see while I’m out are wildlife or barn animals. In fact I see a lot of dogs but they are usually barking and running and not interested in posing for a photo. This cat was enjoying a sunny spot and watching me carefully. Technically I suppose it could be a barn cat, but it didn’t look like it was into working.

An Actual Conversation of a Married Couple
upon hearing some unusual noises in the kitchen I realized my husband was doing more than just putting dirty dishes on the counter. The following conversation ensued.
me: The dishes in the dishwasher are clean; I just haven’t put them away yet.
him: Oh. I didn’t know that.
me: Are you putting dirty dishes in with the clean ones?
him: I’m doing it a different way.
me: What does that mean?
him: Be quiet. I’m HELPING.

At another spot on the Columbia River (where I get to walk far less often) there are three tall posts with bicycles attached. They are whimsical and fun and I always enjoy seeing them especially because I’ve usually forgotten they exist. On this day a crow decided to hitch a ride on the handlebars.

The sun backlit the clouds during a recent morning walk along the Columbia River. It was so beautiful. Much more beautiful than this photo can show.

While I walk by the Columbia River in the mornings, I see a lot of different wildlife. Usually it’s birds – a wide variety in fact. However, sometimes I see adorable rabbits. Every single time I see one I squeal BUNNY! . … Because I’m five when I see a rabbit.

During a recent walk by the Columbia River before work I spotted a heron on a rock, head moving to and fro, looking for breakfast. Though I wish I had my camera with large lens, he was still nicely silhouetted against the river. You will want to click to get the large version of these photos or he will just be a dot on your screen…

A place I visit regularly in Washington, D.C., is the National Academy of Sciences building. Outside there is a wonderful area where I often see kids gather to sit on the lap of Albert Einstein. I imagine he enjoys this.
