Picnic at the spring

Emily V. is in town to visit us, so we decided to do something fun today. We packed up a picnic lunch and drove to a beautiful spring here on post. It was a little bit of a walk to get to the spring, and on the way we saw a bald eagle! He is sitting on the curving branch across the water. You can barely see him, but he's there and he's huge!
Marley took her sweet time on the way out there and smelled some pretty flowers along the way.
When we got to the spring, we all couldn't believe how beautiful it was! And the water was so clear!
We ate our lunch at a picnic table by the water and then walked down to where the spring hits the river.
Asa showed Marley all the fish he could see. There was a woman trying to catch a 2 foot trout, and the water was so clear that we could all see him teasing her inches away from her line.
Marley didn't want her picture taken today!
And she insisted on taking her shoes off!
It was a beautiful area, and I definitely want to go back sometime! It will be even more gorgeous down there when the leaves start changing colors and fall is in full swing.
