Park Days - Not busy is sometimes good!

As you can see, we made a new friend at the beach of our local park. This is a Blue Heron. The lake was full of fish that he was catching, let wiggle in his beak for a minute or two and swallowing whole! Zoe and one of her friends were so close a couple of times. This bird didn't mind a couple of kids and he'd just jump up and fly out a bit, making his way back in to catch more fish. If it was more busy he wouldn't have been there at all. The water was surprisingly warm for the last day of May.

An Egret flew in to fish near the heron. 

So much fun was had with friends at the park and especially on the beach. 

Up under the trees I couldn't see the storm coming. I moved onto the beach to watch the sky.

A fishing boat made it's way toward shore as the storm approached. 

My kids seem unaffected by the storm approaching.
