On Friday, mom and I took Noam to the rhododendron garden here in PDX. We knew we'd be a bit early for the peak blooms, but figured Noam could get his energy out (it's never ending!) and we could enjoy the gorgeous weather.
We got in the gate and he was
off. He would stop and look at something and then he was off again!
There were tons of ducks and geese all around. Noam got a kick out of watching the ducks and loved them flying and landing in the ponds.
He was
not a fan of the massive geese. He was clinging to us until mom taught him to tell the geese to move. Then with his new found empowerment, he was walking around shouting, "move geese!!!"
I made friends with this squirrel while Noam bossed the geese around...
The few flowers that in bloom were spectacular and were a bit easier to photograph than the toddler turned geese traffic director. I can only imagine how much more beautiful the grounds will be once all the rhodies bloom!
The squirrel images are so cute! Hope your Easter was fantastic with your family! Yes, he does have alot of energy!
ReplyDeleteCute squirrel, cute toddler & so jealous of nice weather and flowers!! Glad you had a lovely day though :)

ReplyDeleteWith the little one in tow I am shocked you were able to photograph anything. Looks and sounds like a good time.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie! I totally agree that flowers are easier to photograph than toddlers! Beautiful shots!!
ReplyDeleteA nature walk with the little ones is always fun. :) So great re-discovering the things we usually take for granted through them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful variety of flowers. Your photos are lovely. Naom is such a cutie, with those baby blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty garden and lovely captures of it! When I was a kid, I never understood when adults envied the energy of children. Now I get it. Wish I could have some of Noam's! :)
ReplyDeletehow lovely... we are looking forward to blossoms.
ReplyDeleteI love places like that! great that Noam can appreciate it as a place to get out energy!
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely! That squirrel face cracks me up ;)
