Over the Memorial Day weekend, we camped at Piney Campground on Kentucky Lake near Dover, TN. The water was so relaxing to watch.
Shortly after we arrived, I started seeing a Red-headed Woodpecker in the trees and was able to get a few pics. This is my first one to photograph since living in Kentucky for 1.5 years so you know I was excited.
Next my grandson saw a Great Blue Heron in a tree by the edge of the water. I hurried to get a shot and captured him in flight.
A Brown Thrasher was in the grass near the water.
Early one morning we saw Canadian Geese and their goslings in the water.
We had fun with our grandsons boating on Kentucky Lake.
The weekend was great until a terrible storm hit. We did go home that evening between storms then returned the next morning. A few trees were down and lots of debris. We were thankful no one was hurt.
Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

My son-in-law had his kayak and the boys enjoyed time in it but stayed close to the water's edge.

Looks like a fun time with the family. Glad no one was hurt during the storms.
ReplyDeleteWater views can be so relaxing on calm days and exciting in stormy weather...as long as you can be inside to watch the drama. Lovely scenes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking place, and that Woodpecker, beautiful shot of a smart bird.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Gordon.
