Expand to see better!

We made a trip down to Goose Pond yesterday.  Hoping to see pelicans, we were disappointed in that we didn't.  However, if you expand the photos, you can see we saw plenty of snow geese. and white fronted geese, along with Canadian Geese.  All too far away to get good photos.  But I have to show some of the pics.
Before we left we had a few  fly over us, but none of the snow geese.
And look below!
There were a few hundred sandhill cranes.
This is all I am going to share right now...it is already photo overload at both my blogs.

It was the first time we have been out in quite a while and sure enjoyed seeing all the birds.

The bobber tree

I forget how many bobbers this tree has in it, but it has a few more.  I felt like some had disappeared since the last time we were there.  Can't you just imagine how frustrated the fisherman must have felt.  I seldom fish with live bait and bobbers....but I keep promising myself that I am going to do more of it.  It is nice to just sit and watch the water, and watch for the bobber to go under.

I have loved fishing ever since I was a young girl...I really don't remember a time I didn't like to fish.  And though I am thrilled to catch a bigger fish, I have fun catching any at all.

Fishing is like good therapy...I can have a horrible throbbing headache but if I can go fishing for just a couple of hours it just melts away.

Just thinking--and Thankful

I cannot stand to post without including a picture...I have had this photo in the draft forever.  Well at least since last fall.

First of all, Roger got up feeling some better yesterday.  We did go ahead and go to the doctor.  Actually a nurse practitioner.  She could not put her finger on what is wrong, but is going to have his gall bladder checked and one or two other things done just to make sure nothing else is wrong.  And she had blood taken to check his liver functions plus more.

Today he has felt even better...he went to Walmart with me for a few minutes.  Has only lain down for just a few  minutes.  So, I am feeling thankful right now.

Has anyone tried hitting 'Next Blog" lately.  I did today just for fun in odd moments and at least 90% of the time it pulled up  old blogs that had not had new posts in over a year or more.  I wonder if this is happening all the time or was it just today.

It also makes me wonder will blogging finally be a thing of the past?  I don't think I will ever prefer Facebook over blogging, but I am thinking that is what is happening.
