Swans, swans and more swans!

From Cheney Wetlands, to Turnbull to the Slavin Conservation area all of our open water places have been overrun by swans. There were around 40 in the pond behind the Cheney Wetlands, 20 in the pond at Slavin and then 20-30 spread out in the waters in the Turnbull area. 

Dishman Conservation Area, Stevens Creek trail head

What a glorious day for a walk! The sun was shining and  the temperature mild. Lots of folks out and about enjoying it. Saw a good number of people with their 4 footed children. Malcolm & Shasta stopped and visited for a minute. The view  off this trail is really mind boggling, although it was a little smoggy.

Turnbull Columbia Plateau Trail Cheney Plaza trail head in fall

This is always such a pretty walk! The trail here runs between 2 large ponds and then runs along going between high rock formations, pine groves, aspen groves and more ponds. You can count on seeing alot of water fowl. The Canadian geese were out in droves. Its been a really good year for mushrooms of all kind all over the area.
