Photos from Horicon with My Relatives

 

Today did not start out auspiciously. Between time off for out-of-state guests and the ten thousand meetings I've had to go to lately, I was behind and knew it... but then the keyboard on my computer wasn't working. I tried restarting it three times, but finally I checked for ideas on my phone and it said to hold down the start button for twenty seconds... and that actually worked! Then someone from a small college I was helping out with travel booking for a research trip said they needed the invoice TODAY for their expenses, which at this point are half estimated because they haven't been charged yet and will be converted from several currencies, but somehow I did get something to them. I spent the rest of the day frantically digging out of the hole, except when I went outside on my breaks (not the morning one, it was raining), and my neighbor who can't remember anything these days still has my schedule memorized, so she was waiting for me. Sigh. Then I went to Adoration and prayed with the lava rosary.

As promised, here are some photos from Travalon's good camera. These are all from our trip to Horicon with my aunt and uncle. First we have a coot.

Next, a great blue heron.

And of course a beautiful snowy egret.

How about an egret and a pelican?

A lovely pair of red-headed ducks.

Here are some pelicans doing their cooperative fishing.

How about a pair of blue-winged teals?

We even saw a wild turkey.

This purple martin looks like it would like to speak to the manager.

More to come; it's late, and Blogspot is still only letting me post photos one at a time, so it's slow going.
