Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2004. Mattie was outside playing on Peter's parents deck. With Mattie there were always cars and trucks around. He literally gravitated to anything that moved or had wheels. Some of the cars he played with belonged to Peter, which made them very intriguing!

The beauty of our surroundings!
Turtles were everywhere, enjoying the summer sun. Mattie would have loved this sight!
Check out this cute frog!
Peter walking through the rockery! This was definitely a walk through that kids (and there are many of them..... as the sanctuary hosts a camp) enjoy! Actually kids of ALL ages, as I found it intriguing!
A scene Monet would have appreciated! Look at these wonderful water lilies.
A water lily close up!
Clearly these chickadees are used to people and being fed. They were fluttering all around us and one even landed on Peter's hand.... looking for food.
A glorious and peaceful sight!
Turtles sitting on a log!
A metal whirligig, of birds! It captured the sunlight and breezes.
Meet Bok Bok the wild turkey. This turkey visits my in laws every morning and evening. I think he is getting so comfortable here, that now he comes to the deck door to check out what is going on inside. I am waiting for him to knock with his beak and request to come inside! In any case, he is a sight we have gotten used to for the last week, along with birds and hummingbird traffic! Something we will not be seeing when we return to DC tomorrow!

Today we went to visit the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary. The Sanctuary offers more than 12 miles of trails that invite you to
explore the forests, meadows, and wetlands. A drumlin and esker, key landscape
features, were formed by a glacier 15,000 years ago. Boulders stacked to create
arches and a grotto setting, constructed in 1905, provide an adventurous walk
along the Rockery Trail.
