I know you, you know me!


In my many years at the paper I have always watched for but never caught any of our feather friends at Murphy Park in Springdale crossing the street... Today I got my chance.

As I was cruising the park looking for a feature I spied this foursome walking down the street with a huge truck behind them. It cracked me up so I parked and got into position to take some photos.

By the time I got where I wanted to be the driver had gone around his moving roadblock, these animals had finished their journey from the park and they were gorging themselves on some berries or something across the street. 

Like a duck to water I figured sooner or later they would be moving back to the park so here I sat until they decided lunch was finished and they were headed home... so I waited... and waited... then waited some more... and then this "Beatles-esque" photo appeared. 


Very Abby Road.


Enjoy!

HOT! springs


Spent the weekend in HOT! springs. I was invited to join Jason and Jeff (The Smokin' J's) at Jason's lake house on Lake Hamilton.




We also went to Oaklawn Park for the Rebel Stakes on Saturday. I only cashed two tickets in eleven races but they were big enough payoffs that I only was only down $16.40 at the end of the day.
