We actually saw sandhill cranes the other day in western Washington next to the Columbia River.

There's something vaguely unsettling about that bike path, with the concrete barrier on one side and an open plunge into the river on the other. I'm sure it's all fine but it somehow sets my nerves a-janglin'.

I liked the caption, even though I'm not a Lucky Charms kind of guy.

Hi Greg,
Now you are into my old stomping grounds. I was a professor for 18 years at Minnesota State, and faculty advisor to the MSU bicycling club. I even lived in Madison Lake for a year and rode the Sakata trail almost daily , weather permitting. There’s much to see around town, if you know where to look. And the river valley makes a great ride. I’ll be waiting on the next installment to see where you go .
Cheers,
Keith

Looks like differential grasshoppers like staghorn sumac!

By the way, this time of year, you can soak the red seed heads in water to make a lemonade type drink... Really good. Flavor is due to malic acid.

Not sure... grasses give me fits, but it might be Phragmites

Nice healthy set of teeth there Greg. Your parents apparently taught you good dental hygiene at an early age.

You somehow find very interesting things to share no matter where you ride. BTW, I really like cows too.

Differential grasshopper. They are pretty common!

Nice waterfall, Greg! For a moment, I thought you must be in Iceland!

Just kidding.

Take it easy this weekend. Likely to be plenty of bozos driving oversize motorized vehicles at high speeds, probably under the influence of beverages, and not paying much attention to bicyclists.
