Just out taking a walk

Do you ever notice how you can drive a street 100 times and miss tons?  Walk it once, and it is like a whole different experience.  Last weekend, His Lordship and I decided to take a little aerobic exercise and walk the Intermann trail down to the Manitou Cemetery and back up the road to our house.  The cemetery was much more interesting on foot than when I have driven there.  It is bigger, full of wildlife, and has a real variety of great headstones.  I shall have to go back this winter for further exploration.  But the real gem of the walk was seeing these two beauties.

I can't tell you how many times I have driven past this house and just missed them. I have to get out more - of my car I mean.  That little girl has some cords so she swings and those eyes must do something.  I can't believe I never noticed her in action! Found a video of her doing her thing here.
