The Virginia Aquarium/ A Day About Birds/ Take The Show On The Road

We spent today outdoors and with nature.  Here are some photos from our visit to the Virginia Aquarium.  They have a lovely spot near the estuary where you can watch the birds fly back and forth.

It’s a very peaceful place  and I spent about an hour standing there and watching our feathered friends.  But one of two things happened at regular intervals.

Children would wander by and start a ruckus or fighter jets would appear overhead as they did their practice runs.

But you can’t have everything.  Here are the pics.  Birds are as beautiful as flowers in their own way and I enjoy photographing them very much.  They demonstrate once again that nature’s artistry is not limited to stationary objects.

Nature loves to take her show on the road.
