    Yes, I have been there before, but still want to go back when I have a couple of hours.
    It was around sunset when I was there and the trees muted the light even more. It was nice to not have to worry about camera shake for a change.

    It's a interesting pic to me in that it looks so much better and detailed on a larger screen.

However, he begged to be the manager of his 8th grade football team this year and has made every practice and game. As typical for this time of year, the coaches scheduled tonight's game to be at the high school field. Additionally, in a special thank you for his assistance, the coaches designed a play that would allow him to actually be on the field. Of course, the visiting team helped out and a local news station was onsite to videotape the game. In fact, Paul and mom get to be on that station's morning show tomorrow.

      Are you ready for some football? (7th grade was on the field)

      Here is the news report: https://dayton247now.com/news/local/...cial-touchdown
      Some of you might remember this post from back in October but what many don't know is that my step-son Paul received the game ball afterwards signed by all of his team members. I attempted to make a display case for it before his birthday but messed up on my measurements. I finally remade and presented it to him today. The main case is made from red oak while the football and plaque stands are made from walnut and a mirror is on the back wall so he can see all of the writing.

          Got out on the bike for a bit today, a little windy but 62 degrees. This is in a Wildlife Refuge a few miles Southwest of the house. The signature pic is same location, different season and my other bike.

            Weather's not playing nice to allow for any riding but was out in the pickup tonight (2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty Diesel) when I managed to get this shot:

              In keeping with the wildlife theme these are from a series of shots I took at a Bison roadblock while riding my 1100E through Yellowstone back in 2012.
