Gone to the Royal Ball...

The princess has gone to the Royal Ball so will take a minute to post two or three photos of her..


Can't you just see the twinkle in her eyes

And then there is this sweet expression....

I thought you might enjoy seeing her in all her finery.  I am not sure how long they will be gone so thought I would do a quick post...hope everyone else is having a good weekend.

Just a note....

Lorelei and her mama are here for a couple nights so I probably won't be posting here till after they go home......my joy runneth over.

Whooping Cranes

We ran down to Bee Hunter's Pond and Goose Pond today....they are just south of Linton, Indiana.  We did not see much at all...at either place.  But at the Goose Pond area, there were a few Great Blue Herons...and seen what I thought were a couple Great Egrets.  Roger pulled in and parked, and I snuck along behind the bank, thinking they would fly soon as they seen me.

Guess what?  They just stayed there.  And when I actually took a good look, they were Whooping Cranes!

There were the three sandhill cranes with them, and they flew up and left...the Whooping Crane they were following flew up, but just went a few feet to join the other one.

I was glad to at least see them...I guess I can't complain.

*****************
Sarah and Lorelei are coming tomorrow night if nothing happens.  I had to hide more Christmas presents...I cannot risk wrapping any because the cats would tear into them I am afraid...if nothing else, would accidentally rip one.  They have been being so playful part of the time.
