Dreams of Spring

February 13, 2016 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R0396It is impossible to know what a heron dreams. It might be frogs and fish or it could be wishing for the warmer weather and sunshine of Spring. The dreams and signs of Spring are all around us. Bundle up and step outside to see them or if you are pressed for time just visit:

Union Bay Watch

Have a great day on Union Bay…where dreams of Spring are in the air!

Big Bunnies on Blaine

April 28, 2014 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

IMG_2415Early in the morning at The Bunny House (aka Halloween House) found the Big Bunnies welcoming neighborhood children and parents on Sunday, May 20th. Clearly “somebunny” was up really early hiding colorful eggs for little ones carrying baskets–or really little ones being carried. Big Bunny Don led the enthusiastic egg seekers in a vigorous round of hopping before giving the ear wiggle signal to begin the hunt. Big Bunny James presided over a grand eggy buffet and helped “egg on” a few hesitant hunters. Some egg seekers came costumed to bond with the bunnies; some dressed for a garden party; some blended into the crowd, but EVERYONE had a memorable time,  and applauded the Bunny Hospitality. Thanks Big Guys! Montlake doesn’t just like you; Montlake loves you!
