Date Night

Now this is what I call a date night! We made a quick trip to Ankeny Wildlife Refuge and walked one of the trails. We saw yellow-rumped warblers everywhere.



This male wood duck literally glowed in the evening light!


Even this dilapidated old cat tail from last year looked beautiful in the soft light.
I wonder if this heron sees a fish or a frog...











The trees were loaded with swallows.
The ponds were filled with scaup.











The canada geese were graceful and golden overhead...
This osprey was searching for its dinner.


















It caught a pretty good sized fish!

Such a peaceful evening spent together after a hectic day.
