We received this flyer in the mail today. Looks like we'll see some construction activity.
Have you seen the cute little tree lizards that climb along the brick walls and trees around the park? They're cute and fun to watch. I asked Tom Gottfried (photographer extraordinaire as far as I'm concerned) to get a couple close ups of them. They're so fast that its hard to get a close look but Tom's new camera lens did the job! Thanks Tom.
Some folks refer to the little critters as geckos but there is a difference. The ones we see are tree lizards with dry skin and movable eye lids.
While most lizards have dry and scaly skin, the Gecko's skin is thin with small bumps on it. Lizards possess external ears and movable eyelids while Geckos have no eyelids but have a transparent membrane which they lick to clean.
There is our nature lesson for today. 😉
P.S. Tom specializes in photos of our Anna's hummingbirds. Samples:
The new shade sails are up and ready by the softball food court. Will be much appreciated when games begin. I believe the Get Away Cafe will start serving in November. Haven't seen an official announcement yet but we're hoping.
No other new announcements for today.
I found Kat rearranging our kitchen drawer this week. (sigh)
