Busy day on the river

Pop loves "movement."  If nothing is happening on the Indian River on his back porch, he will walk to the front porch and watch the cars go by.  I'd rather look at the river, myself, but he seems to enjoy "movement."
So, for a special treat we took him over to the St. Lucie river where the "action" was on 4th of July weekend.  The weather was gorgeous, a balmy 80's with a light sea breeze.  He loved it.  So did we. :0)

My sister-in-law, Linda, Pop, and my brother, Jim (and Jules, the Chihuahua)

An Osprey fishing

Loved the hot dog stand in the middle of the river

Pop waving...having a grand time

Three amigos and uno perro

We saw lots of fine boats we would like to have

Lots of action at the hot dog stand and on this boat

An Egret joined in the fun and landed on the front of the boat

This is a cool pic of the Egret in flight (his head is tucked low beneath his wings)

I'm not sure why this Pelican would want to ride on a hot engine (other than for a handout)

This Egret makes quite a deck ornament

Time to head home.  It was a great day people, bird, and boat watching :0)
