Good for you! Glad you could return home. I’ve never had to live in town or a subdivision, I know y’all will be happy with most of the critters as neighbors.

Welcome back to north Texas. Parker county is a beautiful area as you know.

Your first photo I am guessing is of a roadrunner. I am happy for you that you are living in a rural area.

Congratulations Unk, great for you to be back home. OH

[Unk]

Thanks guys - the wife and I are so happy to be back home, back among close friends and family.

Hi Quick Steel - yes, that is a road runner. When I was growing up, we also called them a "Chaparral".

Unk, haven't heard them called that in years.

Indeed it is, Ken. Here is the sunset off the back of my property last night.

Lovely sunset, and country you have there Unk, wouldn't mind taking a trip down your way sometime in the future. We could take it easy, drink some coffee, yak about knives n' everything under the sun, and enjoy taking in the country. Same vice versa.

We are in Alaska visiting our granddaughter.
Drove out the Kenai pennisula had lunch, watched 5 bears fishing in the river.

Stopped at an antler shop.... Major Score!!!

Pretty cool shots, Dale. Thanks for sharing

[Steve Warden]

Very cool, Dale!

Always been a dream of mine and my wife to take an Alaskan cruise.

[Doc B]

Mike, great shots....glad you could escape Houston's gravity. Not sure there is anywhere in Texas, to entirely escape swamp butt...but, it's gotta be better than Houston!
Dale..great pictures!!! Only been to Alaska once. Was supposed to be up there again in June...but, COVID had other plans. Truly God's Country!!!

[doglegg]

Glad you got out and had a little family time. And the bears are icing on the cake. Happy for you.

[Quick Steel]

Thanks for the photos Dale. I enjoy seeing bears....in photos.

[Colonel26]

Awesome pics Dale. Alaska is definitely on my list of places to go!

[WillyCamaro]

Some good stuff right there. Thank you for sharing Dale .

[TripleF]

Out pond hopping......and caught this beast BLUEGILL!!!!! My grandson did....

[Quick Steel]

That is one heck of a catch. Congratulations to the boy. You have given him a memory that will last for years.

[samb1955]

I bet the boy had a big grin on his face when he landed that gill.

[Colonel26]

What an impressive bluegill, and wonderful eating too!

[Old Hunter]

Nice photos of Alaska Dale. Great Bluegill Scott! OH

I'll throw my northern Minnesota vacation pictures in. My granddaughter is the fifth generation to vacation there. My grandpa "Buck" first went to this lake in 1929. My parents honeymooned there. Many Point Scout camp has about 70 some percent of the shoreline so it doesn't get populated. Was kind of sad with the Covid there were not as many boy scouts around this year. They were doing some limited camps so at least it was not empty. The red lund was my grandpa's last boat. I have a newer boat but the kids help me keep her running and we haul her along every year.

Some nice bronze backs there Bill!
They do put up a good fight and taste great!

Scott,
That grandson must have thought he hooked a runaway outboard motor, those blue gill turn sideways and it is like trying to reel in a dinner plate! Nice fish!

[Quick Steel]

Fine photos Bill. Looks like great fun was had by all.

[treefarmer]

Great pictures, fellers! Looking at this makes me think about 2 things. 1st the enjoyment of being with family, outside and 2nd, the possibility of a good mess of fresh fish being introduced to the peanut oil in the old deep Dutch oven.
