Still life

My grandsons get a big kick out of the sand timer in the living room. The rose is the first bloom that I blipped a few days ago. Now the bush is full of big blossoms.
Today was our annual CAM (Cache Across Maryland) picnic. Every year 10 geocaches are placed in the most scenic far reaches of the state. If you find all of them in the 6 weeks allowed, you will be able to decode the coordinates to the secret location of the picnic where you are awarded a certificate and a coin. We used to geocache much more than we do now, but we still do the annual CAM. In total, we drove over 1,100 miles and hiked many miles to complete the challenge. This year was our 15th year of CAM completion.
