My daughter Shirley invited me on a 'run-away'. Her daughter and son-in-law were going to be away for the weekend so we could have their house for an over-nighter. He's a doctor so we knew that they were being extra careful about this corona-virus stuff. So, we felt perfectly safe there.
We spent the daylight hours watching the laughing gulls on their inlet just off the Chesapeake Bay. We saw a bunch of other birds as well.
We took pictures of wildflowers along the road and the beautiful flowers in her yard.
We read.. I started my first ever book by James Patterson and that first day was halfway through it.
We played Scrabble. She beat me. She almost always does.

First: The Laughing Gull
The wind was ruffling their feathers.

Geese in flight
An egret
and a sweet little bluebird
Sounds like a lovely get-a-way... and probably well needed. Enjoyed your pictures!
