Bath Day and a Great Surprise

It was almost 80 degrees today.. a perfect day for a swim in the river and while there a bath.

Getting behind my ears

Getting the soap off my head





Now I am clean and pretty


While Regal was having a great time swimming, there was this huge splash on the other side of the river... Janice with her trusty camera started shooting.  To our great surprise an Osprey had dove into the water and caught a very large fish. This was a real treat.

In  the middle of the river was a Double-Crested Cormorant sunning himself.  If you look to his left you will see he has company. A turtle.
