Illumination & Herons

Laura, Nicki and I took Ursula to the Oberlin College's Illumination in Tappan Square Saturday evening. It's crowded but you see everyone worth seeing, and there's pie and ice cream and band music and Chinese lanterns (lit with real candles). Ursula didn't last long but we went back to absorb some of the atmosphere. It turned out to be a very comfortable night. Oberlin is a very special place during this weekend.



Today (Memorial Day) we first dropped Laura off for her flight back and then loaded the kayaks and went to Findley Lake. The birds are back especially the herons. Tell me what you think the bird with the fish in its mouth is. There were lots of people fishing and picniking but the kayaks allowed us to get away from the crowds and sneak up on the birds. A good way to end the long weekend.
