Thanks! Sometimes mother nature does all the work for you, though I guess Herr Komenda had a hand in it, too. :)

+1 - great pic - love the duck!

(thanks for the link Tim!)

Moved to the lake cabin on July 1st and officially moved back home today.... sigh!
Now I'm deep in holiday mode trying to get back to work and wondering why even bother? Ha. Ha. I guess one call from my banker will fix that thought!

We usually host a ton of visitors at the cabin every summer, but this year we had about a 50% cancellation rate.... must be a sign of the times? People get too busy to enjoy life.

Spent my last day at the cabin sitting on the beach writing out my new goals.... time to get at 'er! This time next year, I'll be a pilot :)

Wow - it looks idyllic there!

Our family vacation this year was Morro Bay, California. Still do the tent thing for now...hopefully will upgrade to Pop Up Tent camper for next...

Our camera started failing to take clear pictures just before the trip...figures.

For my summer vacation trip, I went to the Democratic National Convention..." :D

j/k

When I get home, I'll try to post photos of the week I spent on Cape Cod. Wife went with the kids for 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the week that I went, my son was sick with a touch of pneumonia, so many of the pictures are of us indoors. And then it rained for half the time, too. I think I made it to the beach twice.
