Don’t think of it as a lawn filled with weeds. Think of it as a lawn decorated with festive yellow polka dots. Problem solved.

Also while in North Carolina, a friend of mine took me to Lake Crabtree where we had a nice meander all over the place to the tune of about 4 miles. It was a lovely day and we happened upon a group of people competing in a radio controlled sailboat race. They were very competitive. And a little shouty. The boats were fun to watch, though.

This is my first attempt at writing a post via the iPad app, so forgive me if this is wonky. I am on business travel in North Carolina and had time to walk along a trail in Research Triangle Park.

During a recent walk by the Columbia River before work I spotted a heron on a rock, head moving to and fro, looking for breakfast. Though I wish I had my camera with large lens, he was still nicely silhouetted against the river. You will want to click to get the large version of these photos or he will just be a dot on your screen…
