Nature Walk

It was a beautiful hot summer day yesterday afternoon. I always enjoy and adore nature walks while speaking to animals along the way. Upon arrival to a park in Louisville Kentucky, there were a group of lovely Canada Geese and Ducks.

Of course I couldn't resist speaking to them from a far. Then they began walking to me, the whole flock of ducks and geese. Perhaps they thought I had food, or just maybe they could since my sincerity of my love for nature's animals.

I wish I would have taken my camera as there was this little squirrel who climbed up the tree and peeked around at me and I spoke to it while walking by on the trail.

I loved looking at the little minnows as they swished their tails and fins down the stream. (Not pictured, but in the creek).

Here geese and ducks swam to keep cool from the summer heat.
