Friday's Picture Update on Baby Birds!!

When I spotted them, they had finished "bathing".

So they were drying themselves off, so cute.

I had noticed they had gotten a lot bigger, and now there were only 9:(

I just love watching them, I can get pretty close without them running away!

The Mom still watches pretty close, and gives you a look when you come to close:)

Enjoy, the cuteness!!!

Friday's Picture Who wants to swim in the Bodensee?

Who wants to go for a swim in the Bodensee?
I love swimming:)
The first walk into the water, the coldness on your hot skin.
Are you a dive in or a slow walker in to the water?
When you go in the water, the lightness you feel.
You feel refreshed and almost like a weight has been lifted off of you:)
The Bodensee is cold, but on a hot day it feels sooooo nice.
People swim in the Bodensee every day in the warmer season:)

Friday's Picture Rescue Turtle:)

This turtle was found laying in the parking lot! If we just left it, the turtle would of died or been crashed!
So we rescued him or her and brought it to the pond in the back,
were it swam free!!!

  The turtle is on the bottom in the middle of the picture, by the shore, the little yellow dot!!!

Friday's picture It is 2 part!!!!!!

I like watching birds, it is very relaxing! This one was just standing tall, like a graceful
Lady! It stood there for awhile then flew away without a sound:)
A perfect exit!

Friday's picture sweet smelling!!!!

Sorry, a day late, but totally worth it. When I see an Iris I always think they are the Princesses of the garden.
When I see them I stand a little taller and give them a long look.
They come out for just a little time, like they know they deserve respect.
Iris have a sweet citrus smell. It is a very clean air smell, what the air should smell like:)
So if you see one, stop take a deep breath:)
Take time this weekend to find a flower and give it a smell.
