outdoors

Most of Easter Sunday was spent at the park.

We flew a kite, painted on canvases and listened to some great tunes.

It was a lovely afternoon.

Goose, Binky and I have been house- and dog-sitting for my mom all week.

We like to walk to the waterfront and check out all the birds.

I knew there would be some baby birds.  There always are this time year!

We were lucky enough to find lots of goslings!

This little one walked right up to us!

His mom was not to thrilled with the idea, though. 

She circled him back to his siblings.

We spent almost an hour just watching them.

The Martinez Shoreline is very pretty.

There's a train station, antique shops and a marina as well.

It's a nice change from the hustle and bustle of our neighborhood.

Tomorrow we will visit John Muir's home here in Martinez.

Did you know that Martinez is the birthplace of the famous cocktail, the Martini?

You can read about it here.

Just a little local history for you!
