Take the Long Way Home

This is for PJ, who decided to take the long way home from the Cities today. Hope she had a nice trip!

Tractors on Parade

There was a tractor ride through K-Town yesterday.

A tractor ride is much like a bicycle ride, only less work and a lot like a motorcyle ride, only slower.

And these folks don't drink as much beer.

Appaloosa Foal

It takes something special to get me to make a u-turn and take pictures.

This Sweetheart did.

If you don't find this foal darling, don't ever come back to this blog again!

"The Lodge", Forest City, Iowa

Update 2: k8, not only is the Goldfinch an Iowa bird, it is the Iowa State Bird!

Update: Thanks to k8 for the help. Look below.

I spent a couple of nights at "The Lodge" this week. The weather was perfect for taking some photographs. However, I have a couple of flowers that even pj can't identify. I need your help!

Coreopsis with fluted petals, ‘Jethro Tull’

Steve the Pilot Guy

Sent this photo of Pierre, SD and the Big Mo. Enjoy.

For all you "cool" kids (thanks H):
