Morning Walk Photos 7/18/2017

It was a little cool this morning and the mosquitoes were a bit of a nuisance. But, I did manage to get a walk in before coming into the office this morning. Here are some of the photos I took:


If I'm reading my bird book correctly, this is an Eastern King Bird. I've seen these before. But, this is the closest I've been to one.


I saw this little guy perched next to the king bird and decided to grab a photo while it was still ignoring me.


I guess the early bird does catch the worm. I was lucky enough to snap this photo just as this robin pulled the worm out of the ground.


I didn't see as many spider webs as I normally do. But, I did come across this one on my walk.

The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when ...
