Get Aways

We'd hoped to take a proper vacation this summer to visit a dear friend. But we've had to postpone that until a later date.  So we took 2 quick day trips this week to help us remember
to breath again in the midst of some crazy writing and dissertation deadlines.  They were lovely pressure free days with beautiful weather after the hurricane.
We went to Glen Onoko Falls in Jim Thorpe Pa where
the falls were amazing

The sun through the trees 

What is is about the sound of water that sooths a tired soul?

To end the day we went to Beltsville State Park, which has a lovely beach

Two days later we headed to Long Beach Island New Jersey to hear the ocean
and see what the beach was like after Irene- it was perfect

Then we went to the Edwin B Forsyth Wildlife Preserve: Bird Sanctuary

There were herons, ibis, egrets, gulls

We couldn't find C.S. Lewis's Marshwiggles, but maybe next time.
