AFTERNOON SIESTA

The following picture is of some Canadian Geese and Swans that were sleeping on the ice on the other side of the river from our place.  You would think that would be a cold nap, but I guess their feathers insulate them.

There are 3 Canadian Geese on the left side, 5 Swans in the middle and another Canadian Goose on the right side.  They all have their heads curled around on their backs and I guess they are asleep.

SWANS ON THE RIVER

There have been several swans, geese and ducks on the open water of the river in front of our place.  I got the following pictures of some of the swans this afternoon in the bright sun light.

Four swans a swimming.

Five more out in the middle of the river.

Sort of a regal looking pair on the ice on the other side of the river.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!!!

Today is Pats birthday.  To celebrate we went to the Jackpot Junction casino and met our friends Dan, Carol and Marcia.  We did some gambling and had a nice lunch.  It was a nice relaxing day.  The pictures below are of the casino building and the group at lunch.
