This was way too easy.  A permanently injured eagle at Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. Whoever added the flag on the back fence was a genius.

I was looking through some older folders of a flag picture to post for today and came across all of the above. I couldn’t decide which one to post so I added all of them. All reminders of the summer season. From Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.

Reminiscing about a trip

Several years ago I went to visit my sister when she was living in Sioux Falls. I only spent half a day in the city before heading to Rapid City and it was drizzling the entire time.

We spent an afternoon in the Badlands.

One morning we got up early and went to Mount Rushmore and drove around the area including Custer State Park.

The funniest thing back then was seeing the soda machine in the bathroom.
