About Me

My photo
Proud single mom of one beautiful daughter who shares my love of sports and music. She doesn't share my love of the outdoors which I find weird. I love photography and wish I had a better camera!! Maybe someday...

Auto Touring at Kern National Wildlife Refuge in Central California

We'll jump away from sun and fun for a minute for some fun of a different kind.  

Birding!  Nature!  It's amazing and I love it.  Being outdoors and breathing in fresh air, hearing the birds quacking and singing and using my brain to try to recognize and identify animals and birds is one way I try to stay healthy and sharp. Plus, like I said, it's fun.  lol

I mentioned a few posts back that I hadn't been to Kern NWR before.  Hadn't actually planned to visit on this day either, but I saw a sign for it and hung a quick right.  :)  Glad I did.

So much fun!  I need to go back to this NWR.  I think it had a lot of potential and a really nice auto route.
