Do you know what lives where you live?

My brother recently had a bear hanging from a tree just two doors down from them in downtown Elk River. They watched excitedly as the young bear just hung out for awhile before feeling scared and lumbering himself back to the river and along the way.

Which leads me to wonder? Do you know what lives in your neighborhood?
This spring I've been having a blast photographing different footprints that have walked along our driveway. I know that I'm not catching all of them - and realistically - not all animals USE our driveway as means of access.
Aside from what you see here I know that we also have cats, raccoons, skunks, pheasants and wild turkeys that entertain us off and on. (some more than others!)

Can you figure out what lives in our yard?

dog tracks

deer tracks

chicken tracks

snake tracks

Wordless Wednesday - A great reason to walk!

white flowers

You can't beat the flowers and wildlife that you see at the edges of the paths and walking trails during the warmer seasons in Minnesota. They are always worth a gander! Sometimes they are so little and nestled that you really have to pay attention or you'll miss out!

This photo was taken at the Otsego Park in Otsego, MN on 5/5/2009.

Elk River Automotive Swap Meet

My mom and I made a goal last summer that this summer we'd make it to a car show. We've never been to one and thought that it'd be a blast! Seeing the old antique cars just takes you back to a time and place you've never been.

Seeing as we've never been to a car show, it's quite obvious that we've never made it to a car "swap" either. So when my friend asked me to help spread the word that this swap meet was coming to town - I couldn't help but get excited!

For you car lovers here is the info:

Abba Walk

This Saturday (May 9th) is the annual walk for the Abba Crisis Pregnancy Center in Elk River. It's a short family-style walk (about two miles) bringing in support for the organization.

The Abba Center helps many women - both younger and older - with their newborn little ones. They offer counseling to many, training on caring for your little ones, and help with baby food and clothing and even furniture if a mom is in need.

If you are interested in helping they take cash donations or other. They can use baby clothes, diapers, baby food, bottles, cribs... you name it. They accept donations for up-to-age-two. All donations are tax deductible gifts.

If you'd like to walk on Saturday to help support the center they will be meeting at the center at 9:30am and walking at 10:00am.

Hope to see you there!
