Another part of Paris

Today was the Fall Foxfield Steeplechase Races in Charlottesville. The day started with Jack Russell Terrier races Through the course of the day they had three races over jumps one race on the flat. and my wife worked as one of the outriders (basically hall monitors on horseback) but also to watch to make sure the riders actually jumped the required jumps. She was concerned that since her horse was a retired steeplechase racer, that he might get out there and see the horses go thundering by, and decide to join in. (He was fine though)

Trees of Mystery is a roadside attraction in Klamath, California 36 miles south of the Oregon border. Trees of Mystery is best known for the 49-foot-tall statue of Paul Bunyan and the 35-foot-tall Babe the Blue Ox, both of which are visible from Highway 101. Look closely and you can see DH sitting on P.B. 's foot holding our dog with DS standing beside him.

Magnificent animals, beautiful pics, Casey! The closest I have come to getting a picture of a Monarch butterfly this year. I have had perhaps only a half dozen sightings of one fliting about in the last 2 months or so. This one refused my pleas to show itself better for a pic. Sure hope it has a safe journey to Mexico.
