At the Zoo

I feel like this summer has been a bit lacking in new experiences.

I had plans to go and see lots of things but we had swimming lessons for 4 weeks instead.

Maybe now that  they are finished we can go and do more.

We have gone to this zoo a lot but I do still feel like we get to see something new every once in a while.

A new baby Jaguar was there this time!

Anyone else have their summer plans mostly falling through?

We keep having little visitors showing up at our house.

Since they are cute and do not require me to be a good hostess I guess I will allow it.

If they start eating my garden though…

hunters

I had to keep telling my oldest to put down the stick!

I really hope he was not actually planning on using it.

I am surprised this little guy hung out with us for so long.

You would think someone creeping up on you with a big stick might give you the impression you were not wanted…

Evening light, Little Birds, and Oak Trees

oaktreeAs I stepped out our front door the other evening, I was in awe with the beautiful light.

Then I saw a little bird fly off.

I used to spend a lot of my evenings as a teenager watching the sunset.

I would sit on a little hill by the road and watch the sun disappear over my neighbors pond.

I wonder if that is why it has such an effect on me.

It is like I take a big breath when I get to see one and feel I have ended my day right.
