But, man, that price is spot on!

That's my kinda booze! Cheap, outdoorsy (the label at least), and did I mention cheap? I'll have to keep an eye out for a bottle, thanks for sharing!

But I never expected to also learn the real meaning of family until a recent urban hike put myself and Janelle in front of three police officers with a lot of explaining to do. The picture I've included is Janelle showing off a cut she got on our hike: if we don't bleed, get wet or get dirty, it's not a real hike!

The sky was clear so visibility was excellent, allowing us to notice something dangling from the bird's claws. Cindy assembled the camera on the tripod then zoomed-out the lens to maximum magnification. The details of the bird were difficult to view until I zoomed-in with our photo editing program on our home PC. We were pleasantly surprised once we realized that a  red-tail hawk was holding a squirrel while perched on a tree branch. Looking back at that unique moment the obvious is true, memories like this one are only attainable when we visit the outdoors, seldom within four walls. Plus, efforts to preserve the wildlife in their natural environment is vital to the human life-cycle with capturing images (motion or still) as the added benefit. #1000Words So, it happened one afternoon when a UAB (Unidentified Airborne Bird) was spotted by my wife and I during a day hike at Green Lane Reservoir in Pennsylvania.
