Snake

This evening after dinner I went outside to mow and as I was going around this tree in the front yard I must have almost ran over this beautiful snake. I have never seen one like this before and now I will try to identify it.

B-day Dinner

I prepared 2 fat Filet Mignon steaks on the grill along with asparugus. On the side was caramelized onion and fried potatoes. I made the best-so-far for me tarragon lemon sauce. Have a laugh when I look back at this. I know why but I am too embarassed to say. Afterward, I fell asleep on the couch.

Fishing lure

Learning to modify and create some ideas I had for fishing lures.

Creek Smallmouth Bass

The same smallmouth fish in both pics. In the first picture, notice the rain-cleasned green undergrowth on the creek's bank. Jackie retrieving one of my lures from the felled tree in water. Darren on other side of little waterfall.

Extreme Gardening

Very happy to be cleaning the gardens.
Blessed to share a moment with a majestic creature.
Can count about 25 wrinkles=(?)yrs. on the shell of the box turtle. Although, I get the feeling it is older than that? Hmmm...?
