    Those are some great shots, Slo-Mo! I wouldn't have expected any photos to turn out that well with all the fog and overcast we had. I especially like:

    The Red Y.

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    Is the Red Y made of poison ivy?
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    I don't want to find out but I suspect it's poison something.

    Looks like you had a nice ride. I'd like to get on a trail ride with you.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Nice pix.
    My BIL has something red and vine-y like that growing up a tree and he said it's Virginia Creeper, which has 5 leaves (vs. 3 for poison ivy) and gets very red in the fall.

    Yes, that's virginia creeper, and my husband always cuts it down off the fence claiming he got all the "poison ivy", despite my assertions for *YEARS* that it's not!

    Oy.

    I am so severely allergic to poison ivy I don't even want to look at anything that has the remotest possibility of being poison. I'll take you guyzes word for it.
