Nature's Beauty

Those who dwell among the beauties
and mysteries of the earth are
never alone or weary of life.
                               Rachel Carson




We drove by Rempfer Lake again 
the other day...

Once again
I made Sall stop the 
truck to see what 
was going on
in the Cormorant nests...




Lo and behold we 
saw the babies 
all peeking out 
over the nests,
looking over the 
prairie





Their parents are probably
giving them the basics 
about the world
they are about 
to fly into,
don't you think?












One pair had an empty nest...
I guess they just 
were't meant to be 
parents this year.





It was a beautiful and calm evening...





the water was like glass 
reflecting the night sky...






I could've set up my chair
and watched the cormorants
(and what they were watching)
ALL evening....






Cormorants on one side of the road,
families with ducklings learning 
their swim technique
on the other side of the road.








I snapped as many pictures as I could
careful not to disturb anyone and 
we moved on.

I love it 
when nature
gives us an 
evening of entertainment....






the last act 
did not disappoint!






Good Evening From the Prairie!

the cormorants were so neat! love their apartment dwelling - or i guess because they're not connected, it would be life in suburbia.

the sunset is gorgeous!
