This week I was in the mood to paint some rocks. With camping trips, I like to hide them in areas we visit, so I want to make as many as I can for the summer. I find ideas on the internet and there is also a Facebook site, where she gives step by step instructions. Of course I just take the finished one and free hand it myself, so not always the best, but fun enough. The problem was, I realized all my old varnishes are thick and no good, so I have to wait to finish them.
Last week we took a walk on the beach. The tide was low so I was able to find some treasures and then we walked to the other end.
Along the way we ran into this crab, who didn't want to be seen, so he ran to the surf and buried himself in the sand.
Today we took a walk at the bird sanctuary. It is a never ending joy since each time I see new birds that are coming in and we get a good 3 miles in. The weird thing I spotted today was a large dead bird in the osprey nest. Her mate was in a nearby tree, pruning himself. When a pair of geese tried to come onto the island, he chased them off, he is not one to mess with.
I also saw that the long term couple, finally made a new nest on a lower branch.
Another nice surprise was, catching a Palm Warbler, who sat still for a second.
We went by the marsh and I caught a group that were foraging. This one got itself a crab.
So far the weekend looks good, so hopefully we can get out for some more walks or maybe a bike ride. I am bummed about next weekend. The weatherman said rain, now he is saying warm and sunny. I had to make. decision yesterday when I thought it was going to rain or I lose all the money for camp, so I cancelled. It used to be that I could cancel up to 2 days before, so it makes it harder.
I hope everyone is doing well, I heard the news about the tornadoes and bad weather and hope that no one was affected.
