A Safe Haven by digitalrn

A Safe Haven

After a busy week of remodeling, then needing to go back to work on Friday and Saturday, it was so nice to be able to have a day off, and do nothing at all. I took some time to get outside, and I adventured around at our nearby widlife preserve. Even though it was hot and humid, it was still relaxing. Sometimes it is just nice getting a break from the noise of the city. There's nothing like getting out into the country. While I was out driving around, it dawned on me that I had forgotten to pack my fishing gear. I could have gone fishing as well, but I soon convinced myself that it was probably too hot, and the fishing probably wouldn't have been good anyway, so I continued to drive around in my air conditioned vehicle, getting out once and awhile to grab a photo. These ducks and geese were enjoying a swim in their own private, protected area. Hope you all have a good Monday.
This is gorgeous

Such a pretty spot! It really is nice to get out of the city from time to time. We make it a point to get out every weekend, even if it's just for a few minutes.
