WD - Something tells me that if you rode past a lady in that outfit (or something similar) that you would chat her up, if for no other reason than to have a little more time to enjoy the scenery.

Enjoy living in a beautiful area of the world.
Saw an amazing funnel of rain falling on Kayenta, Ariz., contrasted with the bright light around it and lightning flashing through the storm.
Seen some amazing sights here in northern Arizona over the years.
There may be a another one coming up in a few weeks.
Back in August of 1992 or 1993 (can't remember which year), there was an amazing sunset/ full moon rise over El Capitan in Monument valley.
Every car on the road was pulled over to watch. Every single one.
The lunar precession is about 18.6 years, so if the weather is good, the moon rise on August 13 should be similar.
Not a bad sight to see if anyone is in the area that weekend.

My nine y/o had his first fishing experience in Kodiak. Caught a fish on his first cast and within 10 minutes he had caught another. He was thrilled! Needless to say, another avid fisherman was born. Every chance he got after that he had a fishin' pole in his hands. Next morning he tried surf fishing and yup - first cast in the surf he caught another fish. Lucky kid.

And a new addict is made. Congrats. Nothing beats the smile on a kid's face as he pulls in his first catch.

Requiem, that is a great picture. It is something to look forward to when the kids grow up, for now we are enjoying mashed sweet potatoes.

Trapline, enjoy those fleeting days of babyhood. It goes too quickly! You'll be fishin' with your youngster before you know it. 
1stindoor: yes, an addict is made. His grandpa is coming up for a visit and when fishing was mentioned, the new addict got out all the fishing gear. Gramps isn't even here yet...

Kid #5 had his first day a preschool and it went great.
We were a bit worried. He has autism and is speech-delayed.
Nonetheless, humans seem to have an amazing capacity to adapt and learn.
Just gotta throw 'em in and trust that the Creator knows what He's doing.

Right in the thick of this at the moment as well, actually, it's mashed whatever we are eating, if he hasn't pulled it out of our hands first. The attached picture should look famiiar to most parents on here (it's actually my daughter who is now 4, I have yet to catch my son with a perfect "what are you looking at" expression ).

The schedules finally meshed to where my husband and I got to spend some quality bonding time at the range, Monday. Nothing says I love you like spent brass and dead paper targets.

Submitted an original article to the Lancet, submitted an absract for presentation at the annual American Society of Hematology conference and reviewed an article for Blood today before heading home. I sen my wife off for a women's night out, played with the kids and then mowed the lawn. Finished the night off with a cigar and some single malt scotch to celebrate the birth of a colleague's son.
It was a good day, made possible through the sacrifices of those wearing the uniform. Thankful doesn't even begin to describe it.

The lake.
It just keeps generating happy thoughts.
Took a friend, his boys, and my kid #2 up lake this morning to visit Rainbow Bridge.
Not quite 50 miles one-way.
The pictures don't do it justice.
You aren't allowed to get very close and it is much bigger than it appears.
My friend is Navajo and keeps all the traditions; the trip was quite educational.
He told his boys of the tradition regarding Rainbow Bridge -- it quickly morphed into a lecture about the importance of doing homework properly.

GC, beautiful pictures. What did he share regarding Rainbow Bridge?
Ahem...I'm a bit too old for homework.
