I spent the weekend at Art Fair on the Square in Madison, Wisconsin. Thanks to everybody who came out! It turned out to be a great show! Making my way home Sunday night, I caught the moon… not quite the full super moon from the night before but certainly super in its own right.
Or not so itsy bitsy.. I owe this fella one (or two) after walking through (and destroying) its web across my front porch steps on numerous occasions.
I took a break from summer work to paddle the Kansas River with some friends on Tuesday. We saw an abundance of wildlife this time around – including a yearling that followed us down river along the bank for quite awhile, and then proceeded to find a shallow enough spot to cross to the other side. So many birds were out – blue herons, a green heron, terns, cliff swallows, a kingfisher, seagulls, adult and juvenile bald eagles, the ever present turkey vultures, sandpipers, etc… Lots of fossils, old animal bones & teeth, and neat rocks collected too. If I can figure out how to make artifact and fossil finding my second career, I will. It was a terrific day.
It was a fine day for a paddle trip down the Kansas River with two of my favorite peeps. First kayak outing this year, and it was a great one…
A weekend excursion to look for bald eagles around the Missouri River in NE Kansas. I saw about 15 or so.. though most were too far for quality photos.

“Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,
How beautiful it is?
All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness
There is a poem, there is a song.
Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.
When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with
The music of many leaves,
Which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life.”
