Cabin Fever

We had gorgeous weather for our cabin weekend.  It was sunny, hot and windy.  Perfect for a couple of days at the lake.

We arrived at sunset and went straight to the boat landing to get our boat in the water for the weekend.  The sky was beautiful.

These friendly ducks greeted us.  Look closely. They are in the shadows.

Mike backed up the trail to the water.  Sebastian hopped in the boat and off he went into the sunset.

Mike waited patiently while Sophia and I took photos.  He even stopped along the roadside on the way back to the cabin to let me take this photo of the sun setting in a field.

We were all surprised to see pelicans flying over the lake during the weekend.  Over the many decades Mike’s family has come to the lake, they have never before seen pelicans.

We saw bald eagles throughout the weekend, including this one who did a little fishing in front of us.

If you look closely, you can see the sunfish in his talons.

Mike and I came upon this guy during a run as he was crossing the dirt road.  We brought him back to the cabin for Sophia to see.  After a few photos, we returned him to where we found him.  We made certain that he was safely on his way to the pond and off the road.

This is my favorite photo from the weekend.

Look for the dragonfly photobomb at the top of this photo…

The weekend also included a little fishing for Mike and Sophia.  The eagle had better luck though.
