GROOVIN' ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON

On a hot summer day families like to do a lot of different things. Many like to go down to the beach and chill out in the water. Lots more like to go to a park and just kind of hang out. This family was just sitting around, reading, staying cool and enjoying a sunny afternoon. Parks are really nice places to take the family and not be bothered by city life if only for a short while.

MOM, CAN I KEEP HIM?

When you grow up in a city, most of the wildlife you are exposed to are confined to zoos. I grew up like that. This summer has been an eye opener for me in so many ways. Coming in contact with all kinds of animals and birds has been quite an eye opener. This little guy showed up in our backyard the other day. After staring at each other for awhile, it dawned on me that we were both being enlightened. Sort of alien contact;not quite "E.T. phone home," but you get the picture.
