Many beautiful sights are just a click away, but you must remember that you must take
what you are given.  These are the things that make a beautiful day even more so.  Even
the sights that weren't photographed are some of the things indelibly etched upon the mind's
eye that may never be forgotten.

Before we know it, fall will be kissing the denizens of Boomer Lake and with each priceless
animal, it leaves a piece of itself there.  It is something that we will enjoy for many years to come.
All visitors are acknowledged in one way or another, and I am thankful that they have allowed me
to see them.

In the meantime, enjoy the sights, sounds, and memories from me to you.

These were shots over the past couple of days.  There's been a lot of cloud cover, but it
managed to clear up so that I was able to capture these images.  Trumpet vines are out, so
hopefully, I might be able to see a hummingbird or two.  Most of the adults are in attendance
with young, so they are quite busy.  Plenty of nests are on my route, but I am staying away
from them.  Perhaps I'll take a look in a week or so.
