Back in Estabrook again…

My siblings and I all arrived home safely from Colorado yesterday afternoon, but before we left, my sister who lives there and her husband really wanted to show us the bald eagles’ nest just down the road from their place, and here it is. I wrote yesterday that it was very windy out there, andContinue reading “Back in Estabrook again…”

Some quick sights before the rain…

It was cool, cloudy, and breezy this morning in Estabrook Park, but at least the rain held off for a while.

That, plus the crystal blue sky, more than made up for temps in the 40s, and it was a perfect morning for visiting Estabrook Park. I found my first fun sight, beside the river at the north end, with theContinue reading “All kinds of fun sights…”
