Morning Drive

Loons on the lake - This was taken with a Digital SLR Canon Rebel Xt with a Tamron 28-200 F3.5-5.6 lens. I was in the car and stopped to see and photograph. I did not get out of the car because of the rain and the Loons were still close to shore.

On my morning drive taking my granddaughter to school we saw this pair of loons on the lake. It was a highlight of the drive in the rain to school.

Beautiful creatures. It's good you have the privilege to see these wonderful creatures on your way. When I go to my church I pass by a small brook and I see gorgeous black swans sometimes digging their heads under the cold water. Bird-watching can be a simple hobby and it cost free if you live in the country-side.

That's right. Today is Saturday (April 26) and I'm going to my church again. I hope to see those two beautiful birds in the river when I pass by the bridge. Have a great day!

HI Trikiwoo, just want to comment on your avatar. It looks so lovely. I want to change my avatar too and look for something like that. I thought it's actually a picture added on your discussion..talking about birds.
