Carpenter bee on a Pinky Winky. Taken with my Fuji Finepix S8200.

Love the Bee picture.

Over the last year or so, bottle caps have been tossed into a decorative bowl on

the bar with the idea that eventually they will be incorporated into a bar-themed

table of some sort. It looks like it's time to make a table or get a bigger bowl.

Had a wonderful trip to Crater Lakes and Cascade Lakes this weekend. It was hard to pick out my favorites...

Crater Lake, yes, it is that blue and that beautiful!

Lots of great pictures.

For those needing food inspiration, here are three items from a nice, higher-end dining location in Columbus that we were visiting last week with my sister and her husband from eastern Ohio. Like these food sample? They were just taken with my iPhone, not the better Nikon camera and lens.

Plus, below, is another activity preview for what is coming up soon in the USA in just one more month. It's FOOTBALL!! Both college and professional.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Enjoyed a 14-day, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure, getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

From the highly-rated Refrectory in Columbus, that is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, here are the three treats that I enjoyed last week. First, is their Seafood Strudel with Leek Fondue and Lovage Cream Sauce. Second is the main course of Bourbon Brined Pork Tenderloin with Smoked Duck Sausage and Horseradish Veal Jus. For dessert, here is Vanilla Creme Brulee “Paul Bocuse” with Butter Sable. All excellent!! In our town, not many higher-end dining places are able to stay in business for 40 years. The owner is right there every night, keeping an eye on activities, talking with customers, etc. Fun and very tasty!!:

As a sign that the football season is near, here is the Ohio State University Marching Band doing its summer prep on the field south of the 104,000-seat Ohio Stadium. In early September, college football will be in full motion!:

Something other than birds and wildlife from me...some vacation shots:

Well OK - SOME wildlife!:
