It's still too cold to play outside so there are no new pictures to share this Monday. I did go birding at The Oxbow on Saturday morning but it was a very gray day. It was cold and windy and the scenery was not attractive in the least. Everything from the sky to the ground and the water, and even the trees, were blah. We did see a few migratory ducks but they were always on the far side of the lake and too small to see clearly. I hate to admit, but they just looked like any old duck to me. I met a lady from my Costa Rica trip and we joked about looking for Toucans. I may have been spoiled for birding all together!
Instead of migratory ducks, I will share a few pictures of the Kentucky capital that I took while on a trip a few weeks ago. I went with some friends from the Sierra Club to show support for a clean energy bill. We just sat in on the hearing, it was not a protest or a rally or anything like that. The trip was an eye opener for me to learn how little I actually know about our government. I'm just not very politically minded and get frustrated at the processes. I'm glad others take interest in the running of our country because I'm happy floating blindly through life snapping pictures of pretty things.

| The massive amount of marble and granite that makes up the interior of the capital was amazing. |

| A bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln sits at the base of the rotunda. The toe of his left boot is super shiny from everyone touching it... for luck, I was told, so naturally, rubbed it as well. |
