A Walk on the Greenbelt

Approximately a mile from our home is the Greenbelt. We love to go for walks or ride bikes there. A little way in on a foot path, there are the beautiful sounds of different types of birds, and the quiet sound of the Boise River. About 3 weeks ago, Derek, Tara, their kids and I found a beautiful swan couple on an inlet from the river. Mark and I went to see how the nesting couple were doing today, and here are some pictures of what we saw. If you look closely, you can see her egg. She decided to get up, move around a bit and reposition her egg. It was awesome.


Now that she is repositioned, she settles back down on her beautiful nest. Isn't it amazing?! It was picture perfect.
This is a great shot of the river as it bends in one spot. We are truly blessed to live in such a nice place were we can access such wonders to take a walk, get a breath of fresh air, or just think in a quiet place.
