Island

This is a green island at the Sanitary District Ponds which are surrounded by one of our favorite walks in nature.

Yesterday's tennis ball nest brought a couple of interesting comments from Muriel and Leon:

A man uses the balls to play fetch with his dog. When he loses sight of his dog he gets on the ladder to look for him.

I always wondered where tennis balls come from. Looks like one is trying to leave the nest early.

Nest

On the same day that we saw the ladder along Corte Madera Creek, we spied this rare tennis ball nest beside the path.  Strange happenings. . . .

Mystery

Here's a mystery for you - why do you suppose this ladder is standing on the edge of Corte Madera Creek?  It's in the marshy area where no one walks (except the occasional dog). ????
