A revisit

Today we headed off to revisit MY Dutton Cowspotdog Island Preserve which is on the inter coastal waterway. We had so much fun, first we went for a walk along the boardwalk and then followed a path through palm trees and ferns to a lake. Mom was able to catch these cormorants (do you know Aussies call these birds "shags") drying off their feathers in the sunshine. We eventually came out at an overlook and loved the message that had been written on the fencing "the world is yours" - we so agree with that. Mom even thought the Spanish moss was looking pretty in the sunlight today too - she is weird!

    Oh, such a pretty park Reilly. We love watching the cormorants dry off too. They are funny birds. What a wonderful day for a revisit.

    how can that cormorant change the color of the feathers so fast? is it a magic berd? I like this message, maybe that's a message for us pups?

    We just love your parks, Reilly!! Mama says she is just going to call these birds shags too...much easier than trying to decide what kind of cormorants she is looking at! BOL

    So good to know Mom is better enough to be getting out and about again. And such a nice walk you had. Those cormorants have huge wing spans - very cool to see.
