Tuesday night at the woodchuck races
In the parking lot behind the gas station at North 26th and East Main Streets
(Sorry about the image size.I should have reduced it.and the blur, but the little buggers were moving fast.)
It's lovely to go for walks in the evening this time of year, the scent of honeysuckle fills the air, the sun bathes everything with gold, and the rodents are engaging in turf wars. These guys burst out of the woods on the hillside as I walked up the steps to the upper parking lot. I took a bunch of shots and was amazed to discover on viewing them that they catch serious air for dumpy, vegetarian ground-dwellers.
I didn't end up getting much of a walk in. I chatted with someone about woodchucks, and the discussion wound on to cover the new building going up over there, the energy crisis, the odd plastic bags on the roof of the Lucky Strike building, the fact that woodchucks eat mums in the autumn, interest rates, and . you get the picture.
Also, Sloan's Liniment and more on the photostream:
North 19th and East Broad Streets
Part of the lovely gateway to my neighborhood.
