Flash Mob 2495 viewsI just learned a new term and couldn't wait to use it.

Don't you think this is an appropriate time for it's use? also kind of looks like an old folks home breakout.

Hedge Apple?2472 viewsWe found this, one of natures little oddities, along the Great Allegheny Passage, one of our many bike trips.

I have no idea of it's usefulness but, if the Major Leagues decide to go green, I'll be on the leading edge of the national pastime.

King Fisher1946 viewsSorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken several hundred yards from the royal subject.

Watched a pair of King fishers feeding and mating for quiet some time but, photographing them was very tough to do since they rarely sit still and were at such a distance.

The photo was taken on my recent trip to Middle Tennessee near Rock Island.

Northern Rough Winged Swallow2650 viewsDue to the easy access of the nest I will not disclose it's location.

I believe this to be as identified but, if you know it to be another bird please, let me know.

Gangway!2649 viewsAfter being flushed by crew members RAT and Bol'dar, old Sneaky here, took an uncontrolled slide down to the bottom of Chestnut Falls, where I was, unfortunately, located.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.
