What a Divided Day!

Wow, what a pleasant day! Kristy and I had two of our grandkids and a granddog with us and were we ever busy - paddling in the morning, a hike in the woods in the afternoon. I will divide the day’s images by activities.

Paddling: All four of us spent time on the water looking for turtles and birds. Possibly the most interesting wildlife photos were a series of images of Olympic quality for the sport of turtle diving. Our score for this dive would be quite high considering the shape of the turtle hitting the water!

Our hike this afternoon produced no mushrooms, but plenty of fun in the woods with a good amount of photos.

We had such a great day. It was so much fun to see the kids enjoy themselves in many ways. It was a treat to have a brother hike with us too. Life is good!
