New Trail (to me) in Hastings, Led Me to This:
Old Mill Ruins, buried in the forest, along the Vermillion River.

Seen during a ride in the neighborhood. The poncho was to protect the carving until a cover could be built.

I 've seen a LOT of skinks here in Arizona, little lizards about 3-4" long. You usually see them running off the side of the road, as you approach, and it's like you only see them in your peripheral vision, kinda thing. Yesterday, I saw something a bit bigger, roughly iguana-sized, with a long thick black tail. Not sure what that one was, but he ran under my legs, on my blind side, and made me jump outta my skin for a second. 😁🙄

Copperheads. Rather common along the Raleigh Greenways. If they don't leave on their own accord, I encourage them to get out of harm's way.

The Hudson River, as viewed from Manhattan on Monday night. That's New Jersey on the other side. The river is about a mile and a half wide!

I used to go for the Jimmy Taylor (*see what I did there @SpeedofLite?*) high and tight flat top- but now my hairline is starting to recede- so I just get it cut short enough to lay down and cover that up some. Still keep the sides tight, though.

I'll have to go back and get a picture:
I ride along fields that were flooded by the Ohio River for months:
it seems like yesterday, they stunk to high heaven, but now they smell like corn silk.
Except for the piano.
