Gotcha Mr. Crane!

All summer long, I've been stalking Mr. Crane.

Every time I took my camera to the lilypad pond, he'd never be there.
Or he'd be there- see us and fly away as soon as possible.

And wouldn't you know, if I didn't bring the camera
he'd sit there all calm and nonchalant & watch us.

But, as summer is coming to a close - and fall is just around the corner,
I caught Mr. Crane...on camera...finally!

 He's great.  Doesn't he remind you of a pterodactyl?

The Art of Paddling in a Circle

Two canoes on a sunny afternoon.
The only drama was that Margot thought she saw land and jumped for it.
Only the land was lilypads.   So, she took a swim.  Poor thing.
By the way, the mister and I perfected the art of paddling in a circle.
