River Glories

Thought I'd share some photos from our recent trip to the Old Colorado River.  We were up bright and early to work on the cabin every day, then enjoyed fishing in the late afternoon when the temps cooled down.  There was always a nice breeze and some shade to escape to. The desert, the water, and the wildlife were magnificent.


      This is the palm tree that sits on the bank of the river in front of our cabin

I named her Deborah

Hubby thought it looked like a woman 

with her hair blowing in the wind

We were up with the sun

and  were greeted by this owl's whoowhoo

 

We heard coyotes howling, and frogs that sounded like cows

as we sipped our coffee on the porch

 

Later we were off

to explore dusty roads

and search for vibrant color

We passed by the golf course

with it's funny signs

 

...reserved for Members and Guests only!

Can you spot the flag?

 We dropped the boat in the lake

 and drifted

along the bank

and joined the reeds blowing in the breeze

and mud hens diving for dinner

Birds moving from one field to another

and an egret stalking a fish

An owl facing the bright, hot sun

and an angler anchored in the shade line

We looked for campers fishing from the shoreline

while I was safely tucked under an umbrella

Our days ended back at the cabin

with the birds and the bugs

 Home again

..where no shooting is allowed
