The Spear

I had a couple of birds fishing at the botanical gardens. This anhinga was the best. Fish after fish after fish, but so quick that it was hard to capture. After the spearing, the bird shakes its head upward until the poor fish comes loose, then has to catch it out of the air. Kind of like how I used to eat grapes.

Later in the afternoon, I made a pasta dish to take over to my brother's house. Then, my S-I-L Joy and I went to their clubhouse to play euchre.

You would think that being one of the younger players there would be an advantage, but nooooo. Joy and I both had 36 points in 7 games, with only 2 players having less than that.
