A Cool Day For 'Caching'

We went out with Karen and Kylor and found 7 geocaches on this nice, cool fall afternoon. We started off by dropping the car off in a park where we have one of our geocaches, then started walking down the bicycling path that ends up in the park.

This is the first stage where we actually couldn't find it, then came back to look for it after looking for the other caches up the path, then we looked for it on the way back (found it!).

Of course, you know we had to photograph everything in sight.

You know, like a bee assaulting a flower...

But, we can't let that get in the way of our geocaching!

But, we had so many photo-ops too!

At this point, we were looking for a geocache and the only reason we were sure that it was here somewhere is because there were some artificial plants tied up into the tree. Can you see the plastic leaves?

And of course, Nature was curious about what we were doing...

Looking for and finding geocaches, of course.

At one point, we even came across these vultures and I wonder what they all found to be so interesting to their left? Roadkill, perhaps?

Even a butterfly was willing to hold still long enough for us to get a shot of it.

At this point, I was trying hard to get a picture of a bumblebee working on these yellow flowers.

It looks like I did ok...

Oh, did I mention we were looking for geocaches? Karen, Kylor and Katrina were doing great (it was a 'K' day, what can I say?)

They say it's bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.... What do they say about black vultures?

Ah, another floral display caught our eye!

And as we made our way through the park back to the car, I came across this hornet's nest where thay were hanging on for dear life because it was very windy. Not a great shot, but it shows that you need to be vigilant on your daily stroll.

And here we are at the final shot of the day. Our geocaching day was nice, the weather was windy yet cool, and Nature was out & about for us to photograph. A fine day indeed.
