Cement River Cleaning











I have a nice Canon Printer, but never use it...ink costs too much...but for awhile there I thought to make posters from my computer sketches...at Palomar, Celli's class, chit chat was about 'one man's junk is another man's treasure' and 'one man's floor is another man's ceiling', and I came up with a doodle, 'one owl's bough is one bat's branch', which isn't the same notion, but sorta an offshoot...anyway, yesterday, rolled out to about Moonpark, parking on the road along the golf course, and walked with Puppy Maya forth and back to Talbert Park...mile four to mile three about...and the engineers have been busy, having removed the sediment from that section of the Cement River...a lot of sediment!...I thought it would be a lot of sand, but it's dirt, just like the dirt around my home, which makes sense, as all Orange County is in the flood plain of the Santa Ana River...flood being the reason for the sediment removal!...don't make sense to spend a billion on cementing the River, and not keep it clean!...still, a long section to the Ocean passing Talbert is like it was...see pics...a long walk, not having walked awhile!, and I don't think Maya really liked it, like she did the Beach...thinking Beach walks will be the thing to do for walkies...Hawk flew over twice, Redtail, pics, and one Cooper's, I think, at Talbert,...Mallards, Swallows, Hummingbirds, Morning Doves, Buzzbird, Crows, Meadowlark, Killdeer, Great White Egret, Redwing Blackbirds...Maya didn't see or notice Ground Squirrels, or Rabbit, her attention taken by bicyclists...Maya on the leash is a hazard to them, so best not to walk the trail with her...one fellow rode by on his bike, and it had a trailer made of two nice dog cages...in the lower one was mama dog, and in the top, her puppies!...missed getting pic....sunny hot blue...One Hawk is all Hawks, All Hawks are One Hawk...yes, Mr. Reagan, if you've seen One Redwood, you've seen them all...they come back, when I see Hawk, all my other Hawk sightings...
