Home Sweet Home Lake

Thursday we had a picnic at one of our favorite places--Home Lake. 2 miles from our house, less than 1/4 mile from the animal shelter where we spend so much time, Home Lake is home to ducks, geese, otters, and various other critters, and is the closest wildlife sanctuary to our home.

Unfortunately, the evil red ants also make this their home, and they got all territorial on my ass while we were there. My screaming and running and kicking of shoes everywhere freaked out the kids a bit, and as soon as Sophie saw an ant heading in her direction, everyone was ready to be out of there. I know you are all on the edges of your seats wondering how my feet are faring and I am happy to report that after several hours of being a whiny baby, I'm fully recovered.

Now, what you've all been waiting for. (Yes, all three of you. )

The little pier--the site of much otter-watching, reflective cloud-gazing, and mosquito-dodging.

Our little short-lived picnic, and the scene of the ant-attack. They caught me off-guard as I viewed the world through my camera.
