Day 215 - Then & Now: “Swan Refuge”
Drove through a wildlife refuge this morning, didn’t have much time but saw some swans among other things.
Pic 1 is one of my dad’s many swan pics.
Pic 2 is the crappy one I snapped this morning.

Just a couple kids doing kid things.
Currently brining the trout I caught yesterday to smoke tomorrow.
I’ve never been afraid to get smoke in my eyes.

My dad with his mom and her uncreatively named dog, Blackie
I thought these were feral pigs but google lens tells me they are in fact Collared Peccaries aka Javelina.
Google says they smell terrible, thus the nickname Skunk Pig.
Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Texas.
Doesn’t get much cuter than this little critter!
Looks like a zoo, don’t know which one or when.
Big Bend National Park
I’m a Trekkie but regardless, May the 4th be with you!
Film timelapse of star trails. Unknown place and time.
Just got done fishing with the family. That’s what it’s all about.
Me and Grampa Bob. 1992ish. Somewhere in Minnesota.
The pizza place at the end of the block i grew up on.
I have hundreds of bighorn sheep photos. Dad was very proud of them. This one is from Yellowstone, date unknown.
200 days since my dad passed. Here he is in his iconic “fishin’ hat”, which I believe was from the Coast Guard cutter Westwind, although he was in the Air Force.
Dad loved strawberries. He specifically picked a stretch of road in Minnesota that had wild ones in the ditches and sponsored an adopt a highway. So we would wait til they were ripe and pick up trash, pick strawberries, and then pick ticks off us for hours when we got home.
Gooseberry Falls with a little less water than they have right now.
