Miscellaneous Stuff

Well, I can't believe it was July 5th when I last posted. Sorry folks. I have been very involved with the house lately. I know...shame on me for not updating regularly.

With the multiple trips back and forth, I have had a few opportunities to catch some pictures of local wildlife. This whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus - Christelle!...in case you are wondering!) was just standing by the side of the road. I actually drove by it, stopped, and backed up to get this picture. Crazy thing just stood there and stared at me like I was some kind of an idiot...ok, comments from the peanut gallery not needed here!
















I'm not entire sure what kind of bird this is, but it was a big one. Perhaps a heron.














I recently took a road trip to Wisconsin and my path took me through the city of Duluth, MN. Duluth is a major sea port as it lies on the tip of Lake Superior. This tanker was docked and I snapped a photo as I zoomed past.
