We had a great weekend alright! Our family got together to celebrate both a new cottage and my brother Rene and Petra's wedding.
We stayed at a wonderful little B&B about 12 minutes drive from Van Kleek Hill, called Dream on the ridge. The hosts were wonderful, the food was superb and the bed very comfortable. The weather was too cold to enjoy the pool, but the birds and the forest were very welcoming. I saw turkeys, skunks and a lot of ruby throated hummingbirds. There were also rose breasted grosbeaks and woodpeckers fighting with the goldfinches for first dibs in the feeders.
I walked in a planted forest that felt like a cathedral. I'm sure a million people say that, but it was so peaceful and lovely. There were the remains of a turkey, probably caught by a coyote. The barred feathers were very neatly spread in a circle.Grouse were around because I saw one near the guest house. Boy, that sure was a nature full weekend.
We saw rain 9and lots of it), sunshine and cloud, but all of it quite cold. Today it is very warm indeed compared to those few days ago.
My trip to New Zealand is getting closer. I am struggling to make sure I learn enough about my new camera. I want to not make the mistake of erasing things or corrupting files. Very scary when it is so far to go back for more.
