Up where I was it rained some, blew some, but was mostly nice and sunny.

A fine weekend overall.

Some golf, some kayaking, a scenic boat ride, some sitting around the campfire, some bald eagle watching.

And all the fun and food and yucking it up that a person could possibly want.

Yep, nothing like 20 or so old college friends getting together for our umpteenth summer reunion (long story, but we we call it "Big Deck") at my friend Kathy's camp on beautiful Branch Lake in Ellsworth.

It never fails to be an outstanding, if a bit exhausting, weekend in the great outdoors.

Hope yours was fun, too. What did you do?

Despite the fact that I didn't get in a single boot print of hiking over the weekend, I am still strangely compelled to post this photo...

Maybe it's the fond memories of my trek across Wales a year ago (the photo was taken high in the hills above Llangollen). Could be the big grin that only a big hike can bring out.

Or it could be that baseball hat...

Hard to say. Hmmm.

Anyway, wow, what a weekend, eh?
