Kensington Revisited...

Today was a beautiful fall Sabbath day, the perfect afternoon to spend out in nature. The colors are awesome right now...


Looks like some fishy business going on here...





Here we go to hand feed the birds once again...


This shot is one of my favs...




Some interesting milkweed facts...

Milkweed is a common folk remedy used for removing warts. Milkweed sap is applied directly to the wart several times daily until the wart falls off.

Milkweed filaments or floss are coated with wax, and have good insulation qualities. Tests have shown them to be superior to down feathers for insulation. During World War II, over 11 million pounds (5000 t) of milkweed floss were collected in the United States as a substitute for kapok.

In the past, the high dextrose content of the nectar led to milkweed's use as a source of sweetener for Native Americans and voyageurs.

We got to see swans...


And even got up close with the Sandhill Cranes!!!




Go-go gadget SuperDave arm!!




Tom and Dave practice their bird catching stance...


Of course, we ended the Sabbath with a beautiful sunset...

What a blessing to spend time in God's second book!
