Painted Turtle sunning itself on an old tire |

Time: 1:00 PM - 4:03 PM
Today was an adventure. We parked at the Wilbeth Road parking lot and walked towards Summit Lake. The sky was pretty, with big, fluffy clouds. We saw a turtle sunning itself on an old tire. There were gulls and cormorants, mourning doves and juvenile cedar waxwings. I walked ahead of Kay towards the lake, and ran into a man on a bike who asked me if a woman passed out by the side of the lake was with me. Um, no. He called 911 and the paramedics came and hauled her off. It was a mini-circus for awhile, with lots of spectators. On the way back to the car, we saw a baby doll in the canal, covered with algae. We were sure it was a dead baby, even poked it with a monopod. It was plastic, but very realistic looking. An eventful day, but at least the "law" wasn't there because of our misbehavior this time.
