We were excited to spend some time with each other!

We started off the day making an iced coffee drink, and packed up our cameras and sunglasses and headed out.

The Sunriver Nature Center features interpretive exhibits, live birds-of-prey, amphibians and snakes, a botanical garden, and educational programs along with a beautiful nature trail.

We enjoyed the beautiful birds, the fresh sounds of “morning,” and the sleepy owls.

The Barn Owl and the Great Horned Owl were both perched high and snoozing.

Since 1978, Dawn has helped save more than 75,000 birds and marine animals who were the innocent victims of oil spills and environmental catastrophes.

We also walked around the lake and sat out on the bench and just enjoyed the view.

Quiet mornings are made for mother-daughter time. I’m truly grateful.

Back home, we were reminded of something important with Dawn soap (as we washed out our thermal cups).

Help save wildlife

For 40 years, Dawn has been leading the way to a better world by helping save wildlife, supporting the organizations dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife when disaster strikes, including International Bird Rescue and The Marine Mammal Center.

Dawn is the only dishwashing brand trusted by wildlife experts for decades, and heralded for its “tough on grease, but gentle on skin” formulation. Also, independent studies have proven Dawn to be the most effective dishwashing detergent for cleaning oiled animals.
