Summer Pictures

This past weekend, about 20 minutes from my house..

Here's where a bunch of my summer is being and will be spent.

Youngest showing off his new T-ball bat!


Quite crappy quality (cell phone), but a video of the oldest showing he has his father's "speed" as he legs out a double.

I wish my summer was going to be spent scouting antelope again, but no luck in the draw.

So I'll have to settle for some birds, even non-game birds, even clear down to bugs.



Depending on how harvest goes maybe I'll sneak in some fishing or let my sons/combine drivers go race.

Been exploring Durham and Chapel Hill the past two days.

My daughter flying her kite.

Shortly after this photo the wind gusted and ripped that kite right out of her hands. Scared the crap out of her. The kite spool got caught up on a fence about a half mile away. Otherwise it would've travelled over the Madison Range and off into the ether. She was in hot pursuit screaming like a banshee. I haven't laughed so hard in a long while.

Great pictures. I'm shocked someone else is from NC. Looks like most are from the west.

I'm actually a recent transplant. Grew up in Bozeman, MT, spent a few years in upstate NY and PA, just moved down to NC for grad school. Still trying to find my way around.

Craig, is that the same adult fox in both pics? I don't know if it's the angle or that she's not putting weight on her rear feet when the first pic was taken but it looks like a trap or something got her rear toes.??? Looks fine in the second pic.

Same fox. Pics were about 15 seconds apart. Back feet do look whack.

My doggies like Twin Lakes, Ben. How are the skeeters there this year?

One of my favorite days was spent on the Yellowstone with my pals Alex & John from the Mystery Ranch here in Bozeman. You guys can all thank Al for designing the best hunting packs in the biz.

Anyway, I rowed for most of the float and these two fished their faces off. Al was skunked besides the tiniest brown that went for the biggest streamer ever. It was hilarious.

All was fine until a willow caught a rod & pulled it across my leg, and I subsequently managed to save the loose rod with the muscle tissue of my calf. This did not come out easily. Word to the wise: don't forget to clinch your barbs

Hmm..where do I fish?
