2-14-17  Valentine's Day:

Ken surprised me today and asked if I wanted to get a deli sandwich and go to the lake for a picnic.  I love a good picnic, so eagerly said yes.  Only problem was, the places we normally go to for sunset didn't have picnic tables!  Ended up eating our sandwiches in the car.  Oh well, we've since found a couple places with picnic tables.
As we were driving around looking for a park with picnic tables, we came across this guy near the entrance to Lanier Islands.

 Didn't find a picnic table, but did find a little area that looked like it would be a good place to catch sunset---Sunset Cove.  Even got to do a little bird watching there---a lone Great Blue Heron.

 a bunch of Canadian Geese, too.  And a couple benches where you can sit and watch the sunset.  Unfortunately it was pretty clouded so there wasn't much of a sunset.  But we will be back here!

 There were a million pine cones here, too! 

 and a little marina across the road from Sunset Cove.

the water was very calm---great for reflection photos.

Don't think we've ever had a picnic on Valentine's Day before.  Maybe it'll become a new tradition for us!
