Tuesday: Lake walk
Monday evening, we got notice from the apartments that we were having another "annual" inspection on Wednesday (today.) This is the fourth annual inspection this year! (Wish they'd just combine some of these.) So we had to spend the rest of Monday evening and a big chunk of yesterday cleaning, making sure all the surfaces were cleaned off, that floors were vacuumed, etc.
We did decide to take a break yesterday and go out for a walk. We picked a local lake that we hadn't ever walked around before. It was very windy, but nice out, and I'm glad we had a chance to get outside for a while.
Because it was so windy, Bella got to encounter ~waves~.
She was interested in them, but not overly bothered.
A bee on a wild rose.
Globemallow. Having a good year this year.
A mushroom!
A heron in flight.
Just trees, but liked how green they were against the bright blue sky.
Red-winged blackbird, sitting up tall.
Dead tree. There was a woodpecker hole up near the top, with maybe some nesting material sticking out.
Another red-winged blackbird.
Ladybug larva on a wild rose.
Another ladybug larva on another wild rose.
I wish this little damselfly had been in better focus! But such a nice blue.
Back at the eastern shore of the lake, Bella got to take a look at more little waves.
She was very interested in the noise the water was making.
Bella blep.
And another tree with bunches of woodpecker holes!
Glad we got to go out and be outside for a bit!

Annoying misuses of words and invasive intrusiveness aside (I hope all went well and that that's the end of the annoying), those are great wildflower pictures! And aww, I love the happy inquisitive puppy! ^^
