This spring, just as the snow was beginning to melt, we went to my favorite place around town. A lake! Well, actually it looks like a wide, open, marsh field at the top of spring but it’s still quite beautiful. One of the things I love most about it is that there are many bird varieties that winter there. And oh, the birds! Ducks, eagles, hawks, cranes, sparrows, bar-headed geese; it’s seriously a site to behold. If you’re a birder, come visit us next winter (if we aren’t back stateside, that is)!!! Hosanna’s first thought that morning we told them of the day’s plans were to bring her birthday kite. So that brings me back to my second favorite part: the wind!!! It can get so fierce; it almost feels like you’re flying all without leaving the ground. Score! These photos don’t do it justice. It never does.
