Loons

I love loons. For years there have been loons on the lake where we have a camp and they have always fasinated me. When Jenn and I spent a summer in Alaska, one of my favorite camping sites was located on a small lake with loons. It was getting towards the end of our trip and the sound of the loons helped with my homesickness.

This weekend at the camp, Kara and I went out for a ride on our peddle boat. We were going so I could try to take pictures of the loons. There were two babies this year and the father got quite defensive. He came up just a few feet from our boat and started making these threatening noises and flapping his wings.



As it wasn't our intention to disturb the loons, we just stayed where we were for a while and I took my pictures of the father. I'm assuming it was the male, the other adult loon stayed with the babies.

It was a beautiful weekend at the camp. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now we are into July and the countdown is really on.

I have these items crossed off my list:

* Tuxes ordered- (funny sidenote- I forgot to tell them what color to order. Good thing the shop caught that one!)

* Found a veil to borrow

* Started painting the table and chairs: A half-way through picture...

The chair back and legs and table legs were all the lovely pink color when I bought it.

* Flowers are ordered

* 12 days left of work

* Songs picked out

It's coming together!
