Taken in Moss Landing, CA last Saturday while out birding. He was alone in the lagoon, just floating, grooming, and occasionally diving for food.

I’ve always wished that I could paint. I’ve taken lessons, and classes several times throughout my life trying to learn how. I never feel like I’ve made huge amounts of progress, but I keep trying…I broke out my watercolor paints over the last week in my on going attempt to get better.
I definitely need to get better at mixing colors!

In April Lili of Lili’s Cakes blog challenged her readers to make a Tres Leches Cake and since I had never made one I decided to participate. The deadline to have my cake made was approaching fast so, on Mother’s Day I made my cake.
I used a Martha Stewart recipe I found online since I couldn’t get to the box with my Mexican Cookbook. 90% of my books are packed and stacked in boxes in the garage while we’re working on the house.
Anyway, the recipe was pretty easy, and I think the cake is delicious. Unfortunately, aside from #1 Grandson, and me no one else in my family likes milk so it didn’t get rave reviews here. 😦
So, I gave most of it to friends, and the work crew working on my house. What are friends and work crews for right? 🙂 I did save myself one piece though, and it was even better the next day!

We took our little guy (#1 Grandson) to Oakland Zoo over the week-end. It was so much fun watching his face light up seeing the animals. He loved the Giraffes, and Chimpanzee’s. The Lions and Tigers were hiding in the shade so we didn’t see them this trip. Here’s one of the young Giraffes who didn’t mind standing out in the sun.

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve been over to the lake so I thought with clouds in the sky this evening it might be worth a trip over. Most the people were packing up their picnics, toys, kids, or were hauling all their stuff out when I arrived so, it was really quite and peaceful in my spot.
A couple of times while I waited for the color in the sky a duck would splash down. That was the most noise I heard. Then the sky started turning pink. It was a lovely way to end the day and week-end.

This is a new wildflower for me. I think it’s beautiful. There were a few other new ones for me on today’s 5.5mile hike.
I’m wiped out! The hills were rolling, but steep.
