I went on a bike ride the other day. I didn’t bring along one my “good” cameras mainly because I wanted to get the ride over with and I fuss and fidget with my good camera. But hey, my phone works great on this sculpture of a pelican and in the background to the left you can see a sculpture of a great blue heron.
Speaking of pelicans, there is a group of American White Pelicans way off in the distance. Sure missed by superzoom on this shot.
And ducks paddled by. A zoom would have been nice here as well.
The Bear Fountain is always a favorite. No zoom needed here!
On another day I was in Woodward Park and spotted this squirrel.
And I finally checked out our new Scheel’s Store. Very nice, very crowded and overwhelming. I liked this diorama with a moose and turkeys the best. The store is cram full of very nice outdoors goods. I’m kind of an Academy guy myself.
I went on a hike at Oxley Nature Center. The birds were out in force but they were moving fast in the brush so I couldn’t get a photo of them. I couldn’t hardly see the smaller birds.
And that’s that! I am linking with Saturday’s Critters.
…I like to photograph sculptures, they don’t move!
You went on a great ride! Thanks for taking us along. The diorama is very nice.

Hello Yogi,
I love the sculptures, beautiful art!
The Pelicans are a favorite of mine, love the ducks and the squirrel.
The store has a cool display of critters.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great new week! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I love the diorama. The pelican sculpture is amazing too!
Wonderful ‘critter’ shots ~ love the bears and your bike too ~ thanks,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

It’s so great that we have phones when we can’t take our cameras. I love all the sculptures and your bike! I have a TREK too but don’t ride it much any more. Love your ride…and shopping trip!
I do like that diorama. One of my favorite things as a child at the old Academy of Sciences in San Francisco was the dioramas of all sort of animals. An entire hall of different displays. At the time I didn’t know how they got those animals! I don’t think they have them any more. At the Tilden nature park in the Berkeley hills, CA, they have dioramas, and use road kill. Sounds rather gruesome using those words!
I have a nice camera that was my son’s. I have to figure out how to use it. Or convince him to come outside and take picture of the moon for me on his better ones!
You found a nice array of critters!
What an animal filled ride, I love them all whether real or fake!
