Meet the neighbors.

Things are buzzing around Grace Point as we get closer to the start of camp season. All the signs of winter's dormancy are gone, and everything is plush and green.

We've had some new neighbors move in recently: a pair of Osprey are now nesting atop a tree on The Point. I strolled down there this afternoon to introduce myself, which stirred up Mama Osprey. She was quite talkative. Though I am not fluent in Osprey, I'm pretty sure I couldn't reprint on this blog what she was saying to me. This is, after all, a family show. I stayed long enough to snap a couple of frames and was on my way.

These beautiful birds have made Grace Point home... another reminder of what makes this place so marvelous. Time spent out here is time spent in a place the city cannot offer. It's a place abundant with wildlife and devoid of noisy city streets. It's a place sprawling with forest and shoreline and noticeably lacking in storefronts and sidewalks. It is, simply put, a peaceful little patch of Creation.

I hope that you (or your children) will come and spend some time with us this summer, to experience the wonders of Grace Point... and to meet the new neighbors.
