The best camera in the world...

[shalemail]

Here's a few from last weeks vacation. All shot with the good old N6.
We started off with Wednesday off, we went to the Royals game that night vs. Cleveland. I love Kauffman stadium.

Then Thursday morning we got up and headed to South Central Missouri to Bull Shoals lake. Doesn't the pooch look happy to be on the road?

Here's our view from our campsite, followed by the "perspective" shot showing we were up on the hill a bit and (luckily) well shaded. Then a shot of the tent by night. Great tent BTW we had a gully washer of a thunderstorm Thursday night and not a singe drop was leaked ... impressive.

Cicada for lunch is it?

I haven't tried this treat of Shandong Cuisine yet.

That's an interesting place for a plant to grow

Classic car show yesterday (it runs every Saturday during the summer, we had 500 cars there yesterday)

I love Classic Car shows!

Speaking of the topic, "the best camera is the one you have with you"... this fits. I took a scouting run to a lake I will be taking a vacation at in August to see if I could get my trailer up there... so the S7 Edge did just fine.

Heavy rain on Friday in Jinan.

^---- Followed up with a good leeching?

 

[The_Chief]

And a little blood-letting!

Colorado - into the mountains and then the property I was checking out.

Leeching doesn't leave a nice pattern of circles.

Up early for the children's horse racing.

The winner.

Little house on the prairie. ...where I'm staying.

I'm on holiday, Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia.

A wild turkey at my work yesterday, as I was leaving for the day.

 

[lunatic59]

I would get fired if I got caught with Wild Turkey at work ... oh ... not that kind.

That's the charm of working from home. Wait, you know, I mean looking out the window and maybe seeing one, right? Wait, maybe that's not what I mean. Now where did I put that glass of...water. Yeah, that's it, water.

I'm interested Mike, did you feel any benefit from this treatment? I'd like to think I keep an open mind, but I'm struggling to see why causing large spots of bruising on the skin is of any value.

Looks like there is something to this. A lot of the Olympic swimmers do this. My wife was asking what those spots on Michael Phelps' shoulders were. Thanks to Mike, I knew.

We went to the beach this afternoon. In a small town near Den Haag (The Hague), which is totally invaded by Pokémon players, every hour of the day. Hundreds of kids staring at their phone, hilarious when one starts running... It's the Dutch Pokémon capital.

 

[Unforgiven]

I see a PigEEMon.

 

[Kaat72]

Thought those were Chigulls.

I'm at the edge of China, Erenhot. Mongolia is on the other side.

Can't go in as I don't have a Mongolian visa.



I'm here...the blue marker.

Frankly I don't feel any different. The treatment is comfortable and very relaxing though.

f
Largest garter snake I've ever seen snacking on a giant toad. I'd estimate 3-4' long and about 1-1 1/2" thick.

 

[lunatic59]

I wonder if it tastes like chicken?
