Of course I didn’t bring my camera with me because it was raining and I didn’t really wanna walk around with the camera… But that’s OK.

Thanks… It gave me and Chris quite the surprise when it popped out. We were both looking at it and noticed it had really strange markings for a sparrow.

We visited the Delaware Water Gap today, and it was a wonderful experience. This time of year is perfect for exploring the area. If you haven’t been here before, I highly recommend it.
