Pictures

 Not a lot to share this week.  Busy days, tired daddy, doggie shot week- Ugh.  Let's see what I've got.

So, a few from Monday...


The set-up pic comes late, as I had to gobble an Atkins bar or drop on the way

Neat skies


Family bike riding in the woods


"Always a good idea to hide near exposed wires... Hmmm, this looks tasty..."

Gotta be way down here to get to the river...

...without going through yards of muck


"Shush, it's worth it for me..."

Slow-forward to Saturday....


In-between football games...

Misty's buddy Snickers was out

And what have we here?


Hive that fell from the trees and split in three

Lot's of wind this week.  Lots of leaves left inside the woods...

...a tad barren outside

Family photo shoot- we gets lots of them in the fall


Trying to make the best of sitting on the ground by getting a good shot of Misty...

...and why, pray tell, was I on the ground?

Because of the three things you least want to happen while walking Misty happened simultaneously: 1- Lady and doggie coming down the same path, so you have to get Misty to 'step aside'. 2- Fighting me, she decides to get tangled between the big and little trees above and panics. 3- Her harness, loosened from her vet's visit, comes off.  Amazingly, when it happened, she immediately forgot the other doggie and just sat down until I could get the harness back on (and tightened).



On the bright side, getting much better at "catching moving airplane" pics.

Good tree is tidy, puts its leaves in the trash can.  Bad tree just scatters them everywhere.

Journey through muck, part two

Absent-mindedly goes right past her 'entrance..."


There's an idea of the amount of muckiness

There's another, thanks to an earlier raccoon

She's getting out, I'm trying to keep my slippers on


a massive gull was circling

Misty: "How about we go over to the End of the Earth?" Daddy and Stick: "How about NO..."

They finally bushhogged the rest of the canal.  Um, you do realize that the brush on the banks are all that's keeping the trail from sliding into the canal, right? RIGHT?

Later, birthday boy Isaiah gets some birthday gifts

Characters I don't know what they are...

And several dinosaurs he apparently already has...


Moving to Sunday morning- 0730 after the time change...


I had just been reading Isaiah- "Rise and shine forth, for your light has come/and upon you breaks the glory of the Lord..."









Sorry if this set is light on comments, it's just that time change thing catching up.  Anyway, we watched this deer run past us and circle the Cricket field (pitch?) before heading to the Swamp woods.


My first orphaned cricket ball



"Th-th-th-that's all folks!"

  1. Was I not here yesterday, as there is no comment from me I guess not, oh well I'm here now. Nice photos often children get gifts that their grandparents are clueless about, who is it, what is it but if they are happy that's what matters.

    1. I posted it kinda late (my time), you might not have seen it if you looked when you usually do. No worries.
