So this weekend I was being a PeddleTramp instead of a PaddleTramp. I was biking along the Mississippi River with my bright yellow bike, my headphones, my smile and of course my camera.

Thanks for your comment...I actually thought of your turtle photo when I came across this turtle. I thought your turtle was pretty cool...turtles are just one of those cool really weird animals.

Which of course is dirty, and I was risking being run over by another biker, but I hoped for the best! I got some cool shots without getting any tire tread on my back and was happy. I will post one more shot of this turtle in a day or two.

This is my last photo in what I will dub as my Great Finch Project. I was excited when all 5 mouths started opening, the 6th bird had no interest in my photographics and is pretty much hidden off to camera left, except for a few tufts of hair behind one of his brothers. About 2 minutes after this photo, the bird on camera right flew off to...
