A walk to the pond

I took the kids for a morning walk yesterday and we ended up at the neighborhood beaver pond. It was full of ducks and so the kids just wanted to watch them fish and sit by the lake for a while.

"Look they're going upside down grand dad!!" "Yes, that's how they find fish," I said. "Why do they want fish?" asked Andy. I explained to them, "It's for Thanksgiving. They eat fish because turkey's are their cousins. They don't want to eat their cousins you know." "Oh yes."

While we watched the ducks eat, red winged blackbirds flocked to the cottonwood trees around us. I got this nice photo of one near us. It was a short nature lesson today.
