A Week with the Family at Gull Lake

Hanging out at the Beach...

Thanks to cell phone and unlimited texting, no worries about being out of touch with friends :-/

This eagle dropped a large fish on the lawn near me. He and his mate waited for people to quite taking photos so he could retrieve his meal.

A Morning in the Woods

Today while tracking turkeys in the woods I learned that:

They can run faster than I can .

They are shorter than I am so can get through the bush without ducking.

They might be a little smarter than I am.
