Right after I wrote my post last week about being discouraged, I went for a walk in a marsh near my home which is also a bird sanctuary. It was a beautiful day, so I got the kids ready and headed out…
I received my new Ergo recently also so it was a perfect opportunity to put Wilhelmina on my back and have my hands and front free for the camera.
I am ashamed to say that I had never been there before, it is a 15 minute drive so I have no excuse, but I will be going back often I hope…
The walk itself is not long at all,and if I didn’t have the boys I would have done it twice at least, but going at their pace and taking tons of pics was really nice.
I saw so many birds but wasn’t able to capture them all… Since coming back from Annie’s I have a new interest in birds, I used to love watching birds but now I want to identify them and learn their calls… and what an amazing place to do so!

It was a lot of fun being out with the kids and just enjoying the walk…
Of course getting a bit of exercise was also great, but because I didn’t feel challenged at all by the walk, I headed out to the pool in the afternoon… I am starting to see a lot of opportunities to help me get fit this summer and a lot of places to discover…
Those are some great photos Paxye and I’m so glad that you’re finding a new inspiration for getting outside and increasing your activity. The weather has been amazing the past few days and I’ve been feeling the urge to stay outside and explore a lot more too. I look forward to hearing about more of your explorations!
Lovely embroidery on the Ergo. And have fun with your new hobby of bird-watching!
That looks like a beautiful path. Eric would love to try out his telephoto lens on those birds too!
I’m so glad you’re into birds a bit more! I look forward to learning about some that I’ll never see here. That tree swallow is gorgeous! I saw two the other day here but not since!
oooooo! I’ve never seen an ergo like that. Marvelous! Love the idea of the marsh- I must look around my house for one!
Gorgeous Ergo! And baby girl, of course. 🙂 I “know” you from MDC and happened to come across a post in my archive that mentioned you in a blog carnival so I clicked. Hello again!

I really like the Ergo too… it is so pretty and so soft!!
