A FUN 24 HOUR GET AWAY

So we had the high bid at a church auction for a 24 hour stay at a bed and breakfast about an hour from the house. We finally got to go Friday through Saturday. It is a former home, converted to a B&B and day spa, situated on the Sandusky River. It is called Eagle Isle, and for good reason. On the property (they have 80 acres or so) is an inhabited bald eagle's nest. I was fortunate to see an eagle about six times during our stay, but could I get the camera out in time? Sadly, no.

But I got a bunch of pictures of the other fowl in the area, including a crazy bunch of white herons (or cranes?) who were fishing up a storm and appreciating the low level of the river. (They are featured on the current header picture up on top there).

Our daughter and son in law were able to join us for a few hours on Saturday - so it was a great little respite. Here are some pix from the get-away:

I guess we missed the big lily bloom by a week or two
