The New "Tiki Town & Country"

Do I have some kind of magnet on me that attracts these weirdos?  This is the second one in a week that I have seen covered from roof to wheel!

Chilly and Rooski acting like bait at a promotional display for Underwater World at the Mall Of America.  They are such a hoot!

Who Are You?

While hiking the other day, I stumbled upon this doe and it stood up and stared at me from about 15 yards away for almost twenty minutes.  We snorted and stomped our feet at each other about two dozen times.  I think she was more confused by me copying her actions, that she didn't know what to do.  Finally, I just told her goodbye and I slowly walked away.  Cool thing was that once I was out of sight behind some trees and bushes, she got curious and followed me off to my side for about 50 yards.  She kept in the woods, but she was not shy about showing herself to me.  Very cool experience.

Greenie

I came across this little guy the other day and ended up taking about 50 pictures of him.

Got Meds?


As I was passing this on the highway today, I barely had time to grab the camera and snap a blind shot out the passenger window.  This was the result.  Just in case you are curious, Yes, the rest of the car looks the same!

Awesome Find!



A buddy of mine found this at a garage sale where the woman was going to throw it out if it didn't sell.  He felt guilty giving her only a dollar for it.  New tires and a new shifting cable, and it is like brand new.  He keeps it folded up in the back of his tiny sedan trunk.  Very handy!

Why Not?

Walking along a trail tonight, I came upon this tiny cairn.

I Saved This Tree



I came upon this tree after a planned prairie burn was done in the area.  When I arrived, I found this one and only tree was still slowly burning through the bark.  It took about ten minutes to pry back the coals and get it completely stopped.  As you can see, this is the only tree for about a quarter mile in this field, and it would have been pretty sad to see it burn down.

Are You Done Yet Dad?!

Even though Chilly was very impressed with the windmill, she was not so keen on my multitude of artsy fartsy photos that I asked her to pose for.
