other benefits of family time

bird swarm, originally uploaded by ntt.

Today while walking with Diana and Ryan before dinner time we spotted a little swarm of birds (pigeons?) flying laps around a tree. It was really quite mesmerizing to see so many birds flying together in circles! As they circled close to us each time you could hear the 'whoosh' of their wings as they all flew as fast as they could.

Eventually a couple of birds peeled off to land. I presume they were tired. A handful of laps later and the rest tired out, too.

Nature is awesome. Thanks God!
