You live and learn. At any rate, you live. (Douglas Adams)

Macro Day
"Green"

I'm not sure what type of plant this is, but they're common in the local nature trails. I like the "fan" pattern.


I took the kids to the boat show yesterday. We had a really good time trying to decide on just one boat to buy. Actually that started out as a game, but by the end of the day I think that the kids forgot that we weren't really buying anything (there's no way I can afford a boat). It was fun thinking "Someday, when I'm rich...", especially since we got to tour some of the really big yachts. (Did you know that some of those yachts use 50+ gallons of gas while under sail? Even if I could afford the 1.7 to 3.5 million dollars to buy a yacht, I don't think I would ever get to take it anywhere!)

Actually, I liked the Porta-Bote much better. It's a small fishing boat that literally folds up so you can carry it around. It's amazing! It can be rowed, or use a small trolling motor, or you can even get a sail kit for it. I am totally in love with this -- it's perfect for the kids and me to use to go fishing, and take camping with us.
