    AntKidnappingAnt-April1-2021.jpg
    Not a great picture from the phone, but interesting. Ongoing. At first, I thought it was a "slaving expedition", but it's not-they are sisters or cousins. Break them apart and they both run around in circles, confused. They are moving to a new location 50 yards away -constant traffic! and a two year process, apparently, with an ant-highway beaten into the grass... The old nest is still an active outpost but much reduced in size by the flickers in winter.. I'm curious to know if there's still a queen in it...

      I noticed this bird following me in my yard. Wondered why, then noticed bands around it's legs.
      I sat in a lawn chair and it sat there next to me about twenty minutes flew up on the fence for a while and then took off .

        Had reason to be on far side of Grand Rapids (again, in car this time). Took camera with me. Was gonna just drive back, but thought of going downtown for a photowalk, then though "no, dont want to have to deal with parking, dont want to pay for parking, its getting hot, I shoulf get home..." THen thought "naw, you can spend 5 buck to take advantage of an opportunity, is good lighting....".
        SO I did, went into one of the big parking ramps. ANd then strolled downtown. Was fun to explore around, looking at the buildings.

        Took a few shots of this ....

          I like the juxtaposition between the old and new.

                Fun with reflections. Nice. I got a few reflections last night, but I'm not sure how much I like them.
                This was fun though.

                    This morning. Had I realized that there was a bug in one of the flowers I would have worked that angle.

                        Great shot. I’m assuming that’s a steam powered tractor?

                          Pretty much, but in their day they did a lot more.

                            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                              Honeysuckle is one of my favorite springtime smells. Ours isn't quite ready yet.

                              Interesting. I recently saw a few videos of steam wagons while looking for steam locomotives.
