Thanks Don! It only took about 15 shots.

I went to the Day Butterfly Center at Callaway Gardens a while back and shot for 3 hours and did not get 1 single shot that I liked.

We have Butterfly World down here. Never been there. Bet it would be the same.

After lunch we pedaled to the R/C Planes.

Futura was in the air.

All done

Our friend Ron was sitting on a bench at the park and this wasp was circling. He landed on the back of the bench.

He went in a little hole.

This note went up after it left.

The kids were fishing again on Sunday.

After a few more shots of the remote controlled planes we headed home, racing a thunderstorm that was moving our way. No pictures (camera wrapped up tight), pedaling fast as we could against the wind. We made it home without getting wet.

 

[Marilynne]

After dinner we headed out again. We wound up pedaling a total of 34.67 miles on Sunday.

This is the last of Sunday's photos - Muscovy Duck.

When you're retired and have nothing better to do, you can stand in a shady spot for an hour and watch workers install a new telephone pole right next to the old one.

This person skated by while all this was taking place and the workers never noticed her.

You know that "normal" people would either
feed their leftovers to the dogs or just throw them out!
These guys waste a LOT of food!
