Visiting St. George

Diana and I met Sharon and her friend Cathy for breakfast Saturday in St. george, and then took a walk past a small pond and along the Virgin River.  St. George has lots of birds and many of them are different than what we see further North.

The day started with this fabulous view of the moon and the morning sun on rocks just west of the hotel. 

We followed the moon into St. George, barely missing a deer that decided she had to cross the road at the same time we were driving through her space!



After breakfast Sharon took us over to the dog park area, which is a small, fenced in area for people to let their dogs off leash.  We walked past the area - but first enjoyed the pond life - the heron in the dirt!?, the Western Grebe looking all regal, and the beautiful duck, which is a female Merganser, if I read my bird book correctly.

We walked quite a ways - it was a warm day and wonderful to be out in the wilds.
