This morning we took a small excursion. Don and Doreen have been here almost a week so I thought a little drive around the Reservoir was in order. After such a long journey in the car from Toronto to Mississippi, you do not want to get back into the car for any drive, short or long, so up until today, we just drove to places around town. But today we drove around part of the Reservoir. We all enjoyed our small excursion.
The Natchez Trace follows right along the side of the Reservoir. I was driving and drove the cars behind me nuts because I do not drive the speed limit. I am seeing the sights. We saw several Giant Egrets and bunches of little ones. For a walk we stopped at the State wildlife management area where we usually walk out to a hut to see all the ducks. Except today there were no ducks. Ken and I have walked in the same place many times and always seen many more types of ducks than we can recognize. But today there were no ducks. In the distance we saw half a dozen egrets so we were happy.
Right at the end of the Reservoir close to home, Ken suggested we drive right along the shore. By then we were hungry so ate lunch at the Pelican Cove Cafe. The windows were open right beside our table. At the end of a pier, not 20 feet away, was a Great Blue Heron devouring a fish he had just caught. Then he sat and slept while we ate our delicious lunch of crawfish pasta and gumbo. Soon we four were home for our own nap after our small but happy excursion.
