The Lakes We Like To Visit

 We have not been out too much this week, we are waiting for the heat wave to pass. 
There are several lakes close by that we can, stay in the car, drive around to see and enjoy the wildlife, ducks and birds, right from your car. 

- great blue Heron -

Hello Debbie,
Great photos of the GB Herons. Beautiful views of the lake and the flowers are all beautiful too. I hope this hot weather goes away, stay cool. Take care, enjoy your day!
