A Friday Evening in Fair Haven

Vance and I made a trip to Fair Haven Beach State Park on this fine Friday evening. It’s one of our favorite places to go walking and just enjoy the beauty of Lake Ontario. We ventured all the way out to the end of the pier, feeling the warm breeze and listening to the waves crashing. If you’ve been there, you know.

Looking out at the end of the pier, it was fascinating to watch the contrast between the lake side and the channel side.

This next series of photos I like to call, “Get the Hell Away From My Nest You Vile Humans!” Judging from this osprey’s rapid return to the nest, its defensive behavior, and the loud yelling it was doing at us, I’m pretty sure there were some nestlings up there.

We interrupt this post to confirm how absolutely adorable we are. 🙂

A few more shots along the way…

The breeze on the beach was perfect for flying a kite, and this guy apparently got that memo…

And of course a stop to get ice cream is required for all of our weekend adventures, so we drove into the village and got orange Dole Whip cones at Big Bo‘s.

Where will we be off to next? Stay tuned!
