House Finch
Waxhaw, NC 2024
I could be wrong since these small birds are sometimes difficult to tell apart. I think this is either a female house finch, or a juvenile house finch.

Kissing the Stone
Blarney, Ireland, 2023

First Energy Stadium

I had chance recently to watch a game at First Energy Stadium in Reading, Pa. This is the home ballpark for the Reading Fighting Phils, an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. It was a great evening for a ballgame, followed by fireworks. The Fighting Phils won 5-3.

Mineral Springs Greenway
Mineral Springs, NC 2024
I walked a short distance along this trail. This is one of the only creeks that I've seen with somewhat clear water. It hasn't rained recently, and there isn't any housing development nearby that directs its storm water here.

Hammock Stand
Waxhaw, NC 2024
A new park opened in downtown Waxhaw earlier this month. Located near some picnic pods were a number of these supports without a hammock. At least that what I think these are.
