on August 14, 2021Cool shot Rick. LOL on the salt you buy this in a specialty store ~ $5. Just tastes like real salt.

on August 9, 2021Wonderful shot of the bullock's oriole! Interesting that this was shot up in Aurora...I have never seen an oriole since we have lived in Colorado...obviously, something different about the environment there.
