Fluffed.
Running down by Baldwin Lake in Berea yesterday (my second run of the day), I spotted this guy. So of course I had to stop and try and get a picture of him. I think I annoyed him because he fluffed up at me. I also got a picture of him stalking along the water and just standing looking all impressive.
I also went exploring very briefly in an old cemetery and took some pictures of a few graves of Civil War soldiers buried there. For example, Drummer Hiram Vaughn who served with the 65th Ohio Infantry. The 65th Ohio had a fairly impressive combat record. Here is their combat record from Larry Stevens’ fine website Ohio in the Civil War. After the War, Vaughn was prominent with the G.A.R. locally.
As you’ll notice, I’m a member of Flickr. I use it to store my digital photographs. Some areas that might be of interest to my Civil War visitors include my best of the Civil War sets, sets from Gettysburg (working on adding more), and two “kitchen sinks” sets — every picture I’ve taken digitally at Sharpsburg and at and around Gettysburg. Of course, there are “throw away” shots in the kitchen sink collections, but if you dig through there are all sorts of different angles and shots of the battlefields in there, especially at Gettysburg.
(I’m basically trying to distract myself from worrying about a “routine” CT scan on Monday. There never seems to be anything “routine” about my CT scans, hence the anxiety.)

I hope you get good news from your scans on Monday. I know my dad gets stressed when they come up for him. He just had his six month scan done and received good news. I hope you enjoy the weather this weekend and have some great runs.
I ran last night and it was my first run in two months that I didn’t have any foot pain. Hopefully, I can follow that up with a pain free run tomorrow morning.

Keeping my fingers crossed for good news on Monday!
That’s a great pic of the heron, by the way. I love herons…they have such poise. :)
