16 June 2024 Traveling South

It was deep south for me on this business trip. I was headed two Muscle Shoals and was happy for a few moments to rest and enjoy a rare visit to the area.

It's meal time...

This small rookery was a very pleasant surprise.

Great views from a quiet trail

13 June 2024 A Few Bird Sightings

I was happy to see a few birds while out for a walk. This heron was skirting the water's edge looking for a meal.

There were plenty of fish to choose from, but these were likely too large for the heron.

This young bluebird was out testing its wings under the watchful eye of the dad.

11 June 2024 Lunch Walk at Sunny Lake

Lunch time was show time for herons at Sunny Lake. The peaceful park is a magnet for these beautiful birds.

8 June 2024 Car Show Time

It seemed like Pontiac night at an annual local car show. An early spotting of a 65 GTO was a great way to get the visit started.

They called them "wide-track." They were just wide highway cruisers.

A well-loved Ford...

This Honda K car was by far the smallest of the event. It made our miata look huge.

Meep... Meep

7 June 2024 Sunny Lake Visit

It was an overcast, late-spring evening by the time I left my office and stopped for a Sunny Lake visit.

The ducks seemed happy on the shore.

6 June 2024 Backyard Birding

Following a nuthatch around a tree in the yard can be quite calming.

2 June 2024 Vocal Heron

Sometimes a heron just needs to squawk.
