Photos A Walk in Nature

That looks like a really fun trip.

Looks like a great time too Tom! A 12” catfish is just about the best size for eating in my opinion.

Agreed . They say to avoid eating the really big ones anyway due to the buildup of toxins.

That looks like a really fun trip.

It was, thanks!

Snapped this picture from the bar at the dock looking back up the hill yesterday evening. She couldn’t smell us because the breeze was behind her so she wasn’t alarmed at all.

Didn’t have time to set up my knife, so this is basically the same shot this morning, with the knife but no deer!

She is back again, just a few minutes ago, tried to get a knife in the picture this time but it wouldn’t focus on both the deer and the knife.

Always fun to watch deer when they have no idea you are around!

This doe was trying to cool off in the 107º heat while driving through town yesterday. No knife but couldn't concentrate on driving, holding a knife, and taking a picture at the same time.

This is the second time I've seen these two little ones. Didn't see momma this time. Sorry for the poor pic. I need to get a phone with a better zoom lens

How about a FLOAT in NATURE? Our first sail of the season last night and we lucked out to find these Windjammers gathering in the bay. Lobster bake on the near island and then this morning they all weighed anchor to sail over to the next harbor for the local Windjammer Days Festival - an annual event for more years than I know.

Of course we had a knife photo op - here my sailor knife from my friend José Herreros from Albacete, Spain.

Now match it up with the music from this Six Flags commercial (Music starts about 30 seconds in). You’re welcome.

Oh no! It’s going to be a long night!

"Cool" shots Ray, especially in the heat waves we are experiencing
Fantastic knife too

What boat do you sail ?
I regret selling my Sandpiper 565. The marina fees were getting expensive and the family was not too " on board " either for this type of activity.
Now I have a little dinghy that I can wheel to the beach and go alone.

Sailing feels just like flying to me

Hi Dan, CelloDan - this little thing - an 18' Cape Dory Typhoon - Weekender - a nearly thousand pound keel boat that is very sea worthy though with just 2 people and no gear for ballast, can be a bit light in rough water/heavy winds. This one built in 1975, so its becoming a classic.
