This is a cool story – Hurricane Ike came calling in September 2008, and that allowed this guy do his magic, after-the-fact:

Ms. Shirley’s algae farm
Facebooking for advice, my OFAIL (that’s One Favorite Aunt In Law, not literally “O-FAIL”…I maybe should think up another acronym huh?) has a recently built, do-it-yourself fish pond at her rural home. And now she has, yup, the dreaded algae.

Waiting for that just-right picture
These guys are way good…I need to meet them sometime soon!

An ever so faint half moon can be seen in the top left quad of the photo – the photos gods were gracious to me this day.
Sunday morning stop
I thought I had left the house this morning with plenty of time to drive to, park, walk in, and find a seat in church before the service started. Not this morning!
No more than 1/4 mile from the house, in a thick fog, I came to a complete stop on Main Street. Turkeys were crossing the road at a low creek crossing. It was pretty cool. Continue reading “Sunday morning stop”
