A water lily in Belize on the way to the Lamanai Mayan Ruins, with a Northern Jacana. And two entrepreneurial girls in Guatemala paddling over to sell us local crafts or starfish or water lilies.

Nicole, we spent a week one night in a mobile home in Estes Park. It was during a hail storm in early September. The noise of the hail on the roof of the mobile home and trying to navigate through the streets is firmly burned in our mostly pleasant memories of our first trip west to tour Colorado by motorcycle. Snow plows had to be brought in to plow up all that hail so traffic could move the next morning.

Gazania, I laughed at loud at the picture of your granddog! Too cute. Jim, the first thought I had was "what kind of commute does THAT guy have that works at the top"!! Great pictures, everybody! Nicole, yours really is quite stunning. I hope someday I can see that in person!! Today is Fred's birthday. He is 12 today. What a clown he is. Such a good boy.
