We Took A Trip To the Beach

...well, at least it's our local "beach"... 

where there is no surf but the water is still freezing. we looked closely and found a heart!

the water lilies were in bloom. there were lots of tiny fish making these mating circles in the water, at least that's what we think. we tried not to disturb them. 

 little gal was blissed out when she found a flower that someone had plucked already, just sitting on the rope that reigns in the swimmers. we came home sleepy and warm, happy with this day.
