Egyptian Goose sitting on 8 eggs in a planter at the golf course. This is also the walkway to the Tiki bar. Couldn't get better shots since the planter is at my eye level.

I love the 1st, just the eye sticking up...

Thanks Jeff! It was really blustery yesterday and he just kept circling above effertlessly. Glad he came a little closer to catch that shot. It's better than the Turkey Vulture that swooped down a tad close to me when I wasn't really ready.

Thanks Pat! We were at the same level - eye to eye.
Passed a horseback riding school on this afternoon's bike ride. I tried not to take photos of the young girls faces. I took about 6 photos and their session must have been over since they all left the corral.
This horse was jumping when we arrived at the fence. She never did it again after I got my camera out.
She could barely sit up on the horse. The trainer kept telling her to sit up straight.
This girl came up to me at the fence and told me it was okay to pet her horse.

About 5 miles from home, Chris' bicycle tire started to lose air. We made it to a gas station about 3 miles from home. The air machine was a $1. Some unhappy customer before us jammed something in the coin slot so it did not work. The next gas station was about 1.5 miles down the road and the air was free. We made it home safe and sound. This morning the tire was flat (which we expected), so here's Chris' new bike accessory.

Marilynne, that is a very smart idea to add a water bottle in case you have a flat on a hot day and have to walk home. May just prevent a heat stroke!!! LOL
Actually, we've had the water bottles since day 1. The air pump is his new accessory. It attaches under the bottle clamp. Very ingenious!
We had a friend on call in case we did have to start walking home. It was very hot yesterday.
I knew that Marilynne. I just wanted to be me and say something. That's just my personality good or bad. If you were around me much you would either get use to my kidding around and like me or I would just drive you nuts!!!! I like to be around positive happy people and I also like kidding around a lot. My outlook in life is in the signature I use on all other sites that I am a member and I copied and pasted it below. This has been my outlook on life for about the last twenty five years or so. I don't know why I didn't use it as my signature here.
"I decided years ago I was only going to have two types of days... Very Good Days or just Plain Good Days I just refuse to have Bad Ones!!!

Nice signature!
I thought you may have been joshing but wasn't quite sure. Better to be safe than sorry.
BTW, Chris wants to get a bike pump for me since I ride 5 miles every morning without him. I told him I don't need one - I'll just call him!
