Let Mothers' Day Begin

Laura and Mike gifted Nicki with this Edible Arrangement which I picked up on the west side of Cleveland. It was a little hard to fit into the refrigerator. But we should have fun eating it soon.

Heron and Egret

I’m practicing creeping up on the herons with the hopes of catching one in flight and this one was a good catch. Especially note the egret in the background. Egrets are apparently more skittish than herons. The perfect picture would have caught a few geese in the frame. They were there - just hard to line up. Time to take the better camera. Several other kayaks have appeared at Findley. I think the word is out.

A Good Year for Dandelions?

Nicki and I may have started a new trend - ever striving to avoid chemicals on our lawn. Nicki dug dandelions up by the roots while I wandered the yard with my shop-vac sucking up the seed fluff. It works. Then I mowed. Now all I have to figure out is how to empty the shop-vac. No photos.

Norma & Hans' Flowering Trees

Every year the crab-apple trees in Norma and Hans' yard bloom a bright white around the curve of their yard. The white almost hurts your eyes.
