Odometer: 3,849 miles. To Nolensville: 345 miles.
The final primary destination of our Summer ‘26 Trek was Nolensville, TN, where Bailey and Jett had moved six weeks earlier. We all had fun entertaining each other, with Janet serving breakfast in our van and the Motleys fixing us both a breakfast and a dinner. We also had several fine walks in the lovely surrounding countryside and comfortable temperatures, as well as going to their new church with them.
A highlight of our visit was a walk around Radnor Lake. Jett knew the trail and he set the pace – much like the way everyone teases me for doing so. I just need to get him to wear orange! Intermittent showers did not dampen the fun. I brought my big camera and big lens along. I was happy with my carrying harness, and even happier with what we saw.
Some Great Blue Herons were conveniently hunting for their next meal near our path while often casting mysterious reflections.
I was surprised that the Green Herons were quite different from their Great Blue cousins. Thank you Google Lens for the ID!
A Double-Crested Cormorant performed well for me
The many Pond Slider turtles were easier subjects to sight in my viewfinder as they didn’t move as quickly as the birds, but they looked eerie when covered in pond scum. It seemed a pair were going to play the rolling log game.
Spotting the Bald Eagle was a highlight. It did not move for the second half of our walk and we could look at it from each end of the lake.
There were plenty of other cool things to photograph.
Janet, Bailey, and Jett were great spotters, eagerly calling me over when I was lagging behind to capture an interesting subject. I think they quickly learned to omit mentioning some subjects or we would have been walking all day!
It was a lot of fun visiting our daughter and son-in-law, and heartwarming to see them building their own lives together so well.
