Still from Block Island On one day a bike ride we passed a group trail ride. Another day's hike took us right past a picturesque farm that had a couple of horses and a couple of cute mules (and a goat that was hanging out on top of his shed.) Also right next to the place that had the alpacas, there was a miniature zoo with animals from emu ... to zebu ... Some black swans... and a black miniature horse A llama and a zeedonk (half zebra and half donkey)

Aerial shots from the tiny plane we flew in while leaving Block Island: The Point Judith Lighthouse A sizable suspension bridge and shortly thereafter, what appears to be military planes at an airfield About midway through the trip the smaller camera that I used for these shots and in the underwater case while snorkeling, somehow got a piece on lint on the inside of the lens, which shows up as a fuzzy dark patch in all of the pictures. On many of the better pictures I was able to edit it out with a photo editing program, but it is a fair bit of work and it is rather annoying.

Rusty, I live in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. That trail is called North Head Trail although most people just call it the Signal Hill Trail. It winds around Signal Hill. It's quite steep in places but at least there are stairs to climb. I typically start at the bottom of the hill (on the other side) and walk up the road to the top, then take the trail back down. Many, many people jog this trail but I am not a runner. It looks worse than it actually is, although there are no rails, only a few steps with handrails. In one section where the trails is especially narrow and steep there is a chain bolted to the cliff face so you can hang on to it. I rarely do, quicker to just go without holding onto the chain. It usually takes me 48 minutes to do the entire trail. I haven't done it much this year because I've been doing other trails but last summer I used to do it 3 or 4 times a week. It's a great workout!

Sabbath, your coleus is beautiful. It put me in mind of the two I had a few years back. I have one now too, but the deer decided to munch away on it a bit. I'm not sure it is going to recover. But these other two did very well.
