White-crowned Sparrow in Lupine Bush, Grandview Park |
Whenever I don't have time to get out for a longer jaunt, I can at least stroll over to Grandview Park to stretch my legs, take in the views, and maybe even compose a photo or two. Even a half-hour out on a beautiful day is tremendously rejuvenating.

White-crowned Sparrow |
 |
This bumblebee had much bigger pollen sacs on its legs than any of its nearby fellows. I guess honeybees don't especially favor lupines, but I was surprised to see none at all. I've noticed surprisingly few honeybees in relation to bumblebees in various other spots around the city as well. |

A moment of stillness on a windy afternoon (aided by a fast shutter speed). |

White-crowned Sparrow on Coastal Sage |
 |
The adult had just flown in with a small fish, which the one nestling kept for itself. |
 |
A lot of people are waiting for the youngsters to take their first flight. It will be any day now. |
