California Ground Squirrels and a Clown







Today we headed south to the big city. We went to Santa Rosa to meet some friends for lunch to celebrate our kids graduating from high school. After a great lunch at La Rosas we went to Lake Ralphine a small lake in Howarth Park to have some fun.Everyone went kayaking and paddleboating. I stayed ashore and along the shoreline I found some fat and sassy California Ground squirrels to photograph.




There was also a wild group of geese bathing in the clear water where it comes into the lake. When we got ready to leave the park I saw a clown heading down to the baseball field to put on a performance for a party that was going on. A great time was had by all.

God's light and love to all,

chris

    1. Thank you very much for stopping in for a look,Kaska. You have a great idea for a blog started there. What a cute summer outfit. Maybe you can get a designer or clothing company to supply you with outfits to wear each day.
