Boys in a Boat
Cousins Tom and Jerry sprinted as soon as they saw the boat.
“Just like Venice!” Jerry cried. “A gondola!” Tom shouted.
They had only a moment before their families, gathered for a picnic, caught up to them. Shoving the boat into the canal, they jumped in and pushed away from the dock.
Their timing was perfect.
Cresting the bridge, their families stopped and focused their attention on the boys in full serenade mode in the middle of the canal.
Shaking their heads, everyone continued on, unfazed at the sight of two boys standing in a boat filling with water, sinking.

Palmetto State Park
Hubby and I hiked a short trail at the Palmetto State Park. It was a beautiful, clear day and we took advantage of it.
The park is named after the tropical dwarf palmetto plant.

It has an old water mill that is now used to keep water in the swamp. The building doesn’t really lean; that must have been me and my camera.

The literature says that close to 240 species of birds can be found at the park. I’m thinking that includes migrating birds and maybe they don’t all live there at once. I heard a woodpecker and managed to get a photo.

I also discovered — by chance — an item that I suspected to be a geocache. I left it undisturbed.
A geocache?
