Walk in the park

When Dave got home from work yesterday, he and the auditor (MW, staying with us) and I took a walk in the park. Dave and MW walked the dogs, which was quite nice as it allowed me to take some pictures without having my arms yanked out of the sockets!


We laughed to see that what happens when you park your car here too long...















We enjoyed the sight of some beautiful birds near the water. This is just a guess, but this was possibly the mother bird who took off quickly when we arrived...
















while the young ones tried to stay inconspicuous.














We think they are cormorants. Click on this one to see it larger, and notice the widespread wings, tail, and webbed feet.
























































And this one, we think, is a type of kingfisher. It was a real pleasure to enjoy these beauties of God's creation in the park!
