I passed this couple on the boardwalk at Green Cay. Don't know what made me look back, but this is what I saw...

We had a picnic lunch at Lake Ida yesterday. While we were eating, this brown pelican was finishing its lunch also.

A little digesting

Then off in search of more lunch

Not sure if this is the same hawk on a different tree.

Playing with EV - SOOC - when I get the colors, I lose the background

Not sure once again if this is the same hawk but on a different tree. We spent twenty minutes together and had quite a conversation. Glad no one was around to hear me speaking hawk!

I couldn't bring out the color in this one, so this is SOOC. The sun was in and out that day, that's why I was playing with the EV so much.

My spare tire bike rack finally bit the dust on my Jeep Wrangler. I've only had it since 1989, both the Jeep and the rack.

We'll be replacing the ball hitch that Chris made in 1989 with a Reese hitch. We purchased another bike rack a couple of years ago for Chris' truck and decided to use it with both vehicles.

Good-bye
