Fly-over ...

Posted in Exploring Creation

We took a walk down the Trail a few days ago.  My sister-in-law joined us with her five children.  We were quite a sight, the two of us with ten children in tow and her obviously expecting another blessing.  I live in a very friendly small town and as we passed the few blocks between our house and the trail, lots of "neighbors" greeted us with astonishment and smiles at the size of our collective brood.

I have told them about the animials and birds and other interesting things we see along the Trail, but this was their first opportunity to see if for themselves.  Not long after we reached the trail, an osprey flew downriver just above the treetops in that slow, soaring fashion they have when they're watching for fish in the water below.

We shared what little we knew of ospreys, such as the fact that they will fight with eagles over their catch.  We are on a quest to learn more!

My bird pix didn't turn out so well today. I was bummed.
