We ran to Paris today...Paris, Illinois that is. On the way home, we drove through the strip pit area. The pond above it huge...I keep meaning to get a rough measurement of it by seeing how long the road is that runs sort of parallel to it. Using the zoom lens compresses it so that you just don't the real feel of it. Anyway, I think there were more swans on it than were on it the the
other day. As you can see the ice is all gone here.
The rest of these are taken at a much smaller pond that is right beside the road. We paused and I rolled down the window to try to take a few photos.
They first started to gradually swim away....
then they started to fly away so we took proceeded on our way.
I saw this pair of swans and had Roger stop while I snagged a couple pics. This one has been cropped a little bit. Remember to click the photo to view a larger image.

I finished sewing the binding down on Lorelei's quilt tonight! I hope to wash it tomorrow. I never give a quilt away without washing it first. I am so glad to have it done for her. It has really surprised me that she still asks about it...it has been quite a while ago that I first told her I would make it for her.
