Post A Photo, A Real Photo

They look similar to Eastern Lubber grasshoppers. Most of the ones around here are orange and black but see the yellow and black ones occasionally. They are huge compared to normal grasshoppers.

My sister's cats. The one really needy, curious and adventurous. The other more standoffish, hates being held for too long and likes to stay perched out of reach. But both are really sweet.

Nice seats. Was that from today's game?
Go Bravo's

Sorry, no. That was pre-pandemic. Looking forward to getting back down there…

Saw these five sheep rams today about 3 miles from our house.
One had a tracking collar and three had ear tags. They were not very afraid of us. We always like to see these.

I was surprised to see a white caterpillar over the weekend. Grabbed this photo of it. I may have been about 2 inches long.

I might have posted this before... It's my favorite "What's wrong with this picture" picture. I was on a bus traveling down the Nile Delta. One side of the road was the Sahara desert, the other side was lush and green.

I almost didn't get my camera up in time... It was a farm, mud brick house, thatch roof, water buffalo in the yard AND a Mercedes in the driveway. It looked so comical...

Faroe Islands Lake Sorvagsvatn... A real lake just above the ocean on a little lsland between Iceland and Norway.

I don't know, that seems more like a "Did you just fart? Don't do that again." look to me.

Spotted while camping yesterday....a bald eagle trying to swim...badly:

Took this photo about 7 years ago. You can see a huge black object flying above the badlands. I took a series of photos and it is not in the one before or after. A Native American says it is a Thunder Bird, as good as explanation as any. It was far too big to be an eagle.

Here is a blown up picture. Looks like a huge bird. You would need to be there to get the perspective.

If that is what it was, it is a REALLY BIG bird:

It looked that big in person. What is the bird in that picture?

Well, it ain't no buzzard!
Just another one that doesn't exist, per scientists. Only a legend told by Indians.

Centuries-Old Legend
The legend of the Thunderbird reaches back hundreds of years as part of the mythology of several Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes region. It might have remained strictly a part of those cultures had not the great winged creature been seen countless times by the "white man" over the centuries.

The community cat:

My old outhouse finally filled, after blowing over twice in 15 years, so one day I just lit a match to it. After a couple of days of cooling off, I used a posthole digger to empty the ash out of the hole, re-lined it with cinder blocks, rebar & concrete, built a new outhouse atop the old hole. Nothing left down there but fine powdered ash. New structure is a bit nicer, closing door to keep the rattlers out. Worst thing one can imagine is a big rattler crawling in while you're indisposed.

Knowing there isn't a lot of water in South Dakota, I am curious which lake this is? Lake Oahe?
