What a gorgeous day it has been today, and we spent quite a bit of it outside.

First we went to church at Celebration Community Presbyterian Church, then went for a walk around Lake Rianhard. 

 

I thought at first that this was a Little Blue Heron that had not entirely turned from white to blue, but now I'm pretty sure it was a tri-colour heron.  So pretty! 

The sky was so blue, it made the water look blue as well.  This ibis dips his beak into the mud to find his lunch - notice the tip of it is mud-covered. 

This flower will eventually become a bunch of bananas. 

"The Bow-stringer" is a sculpture in the big hotel in downtown Celebration. 

After our walk around the lake, we had "lunch" - ice cream from Kilwins.  Unfortunately, no moose tracks, but I discovered that Kilwin tracks was pretty much identical. 

 

This mockingbird was doing a really good imitation of a cardinal!  I was convinced! 

Wood storks were everywhere today - the first time we've seen them. 

Guess he didn't have the strength to get all the way out - or in??? 

 Here's lookin' at you!

This wood stork was stirring up the mud with his right foot, then grabbing whatever he stirred up in his beak.
