We went to a local lake with friends this summer and passed this guy using these funky water jet boots to hover and fly above the water.

arosegirl, Thanks. We only had two days in Honduras, and much of them were spent in a speeding bus traveling most of the way across the country from the ship, which was docked on the Caribbean, to Copan Ruinas, but we really loved the town. Our hotel was right on the picturesque main square. Several locals in the town square. One of my favorite pictures is this one of a church on the town square, lit by the setting sun.

This is from last year. DH moved the feeder pole a few feet further from his launching tree this year. He still spends hours trying from the tree, two nearby shrubs and up the pole. So far, so good. There is plenty on the in the sheltered ground feeder for him and 5 or 6 like him.

My neighbor's Norway Maples (invasive species) deposited more seeds this year than in the previous 5 years. Rather than trying to pull them in the lawn, I spray a selective herbicide. In the flower beds and veggie garden, I use a long digging tool to get them out. Sculpture of the Sardona Dance in Mirador Park, Barcelona.
