Pelicans on the Bear River
Last week when I went to pick up the dogs from my parents I took a moment to admire these great birds. Mom and Dad live a short distance from the Bear River which is a wonderful place for migratory birds to gather. Every spring these guy show up for a short time. It’s a nice reminder that spring has sprung and the winter is coming to a close.
Anybody know who this guy is? Go ahead take a guess. I’ll be researching as well. He was hanging out with the Pelicans and I spied a whole bunch (perhaps a gaggle or a flock) of them by the Logan River as well. I think he is beautiful as well. I find myself fascinated by the crane like birds Blue Herons are one of my favorites there is an empirical quality to them. I think I’ve missed my chance to photograph the Sandhills that have been enjoying the farmers fields. Next year…
Ahh Home
We took a quick trip up to Cache Valley this weekend to get a visit in with my parent before we all go on our merrily way for the holidays. My parents are being adventurous this year and going across the pond and then some to Germany to visit my sister and her family. Its a pretty big deal especially for my dad who doesn’t really do vacations. I think he is going to be pleasantly surprised though.
Its alway very therapeutic for me to go to my parents house. Although they have moved out of the neighborhood we grew up in there are so many reminders through out the house of my childhood and my roots. From the toys that were held onto for the grandkids, to Grandma McKenney’s old bed and quilt, and just the little smells and intricacies of being home. Mom and Dad are always the ultimate hosts making up a comfortable room to stay in, treating us to a dinner out, and fixing a big breakfast. I love watching them interact with Ellie you can see and feel the joy in their hearts when ever they are around their grandchildren. So, thank you Mom and Dad for taking care of us this weekend it was just what we needed.
