Hope Springs & a New Title

Hubby and I continue to take our morning bicycle rides,

And a few days ago I was thrilled to discover

A Muscovy mama with six chicks!

So far she still has all six, too...

I just couldn't get them all in one photo.

They were not shy and kept coming at me,

No doubt looking for handouts...

Snappy but Unsnapped (today): Two cormorants; tri-colored heron.

Sideline: I've gone ahead and changed my Blog's title even though I'm not living in Flagler Co. quite yet...too anxious to wait! We close escrow sooner than we'd first been told, on the 23rd, but will be out of town for an important family matter, so won't be moving until the 26th. Still, a few days earlier! After six months of living w/ a relative and "out of a box" as hubby says, it's going to be uber-super to have our own home again!! Hopefully I'll be able to visit 1-2 birding spots before we leave for our 3-month job in Hawaii. And who knows what will show up in our cozy, private back yard?! Soon, no more life in limbo!
