River Bend Farm

I wanted to go somewhere today that I don't usually have time to visit, so I drove over to Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor.    It was a beautiful morning, after so much rain and darkness the past two days.  Birds were singing all over the place, and butterflies were also showing up in the meadow!

I don't get tired of this beautiful bird.  It's uncommonly beautiful!

      Thanks, Nick. It really was beautiful! I also saw two men bow-fishing there, which I had never seen before. I watched a very short while, but I guess the fish were not very active due to the cold nights this weekend.
