At the nature park

JM and I took the twins, Lem, and Miriam for a picnic and hiking at the DePauw nature park. It's an old quarry that has been turned into a park and outdoor classroom for DePauw. The bottom of the quarry is a large shallow pond. We hiked around the rim.

Bird's eye view of Canada geese. There were about 100 on the little islands in the pond.

We noticed these odd looking geese, and got as close as we could. They are blue snow geese. They are fairly common in some parts of the US, but not around here, so it was cool to see them. I was very glad I had the camera!
