A few weeks ago, Jay and I went to a farm to get fresh peaches and yummy veggies. Out back they had peacocks, sheep, goats, chickens, bunnies and a few other fuzzy or feathery creatures for feeding and petting. Jay made a special friend: 
Mr. Goat is doing a dance he's so happy to be friends with Jay! 
It may also be a dance mocking Jay's lack of elevation, but my studies in traditional communicative goat dance lead me to believe the Dance of New Friend Joy is more likely than the Ha Ha I Have the Vertical Advantage Dance, though the fundamentals are quite similar.
It may have been useful for Jay and I to know before embarking on the journey up the Appalachian mountain that lets Crabtree Falls meander down it's sloping side that it is supposedly the tallest US waterfall east of the Mississippi. Then again, if we knew the 1,380(+?) ft would take us nearly three hours to get up, we may not have been rewarded with all the lovely views it revealed, the below being one.
The trail was well maintained without being too manicured and there were a lot of people about, but most of them were pleasant and even though it kicked our unfit butts, it was a great time. Especially the way down.
Here is where we spent our weekend:
In a house on a hill in the Shenandoah Valley. We pretended to be hill people. I don't think Jay's doing a very good Job. He has a shirt and shoes on.
This little gem we found in south Baltimore goes out to my Polish ancestry. Otherwise , I think it speaks for itself...
I don't know if the trap was meant for pigeons or rats, but it sure wasn't working on these hungry guys. 
The light one in the top left of the frame got chased around by the darker one right behind it for a good couple of minutes. Mesmerized by a nice piece of tail, I suppose.
Hey all, this week I started seeing this blog on other computers (at work, naughty me) and noticed that the pictures are coming out much darker than on my computer at home. Now I know about monitors and how they all show differently and such, but I want to know what the majority of you are seeing. If it's my computer that shows things lighter and brighter, and the rest of you are seeing them much darker, then I'll adjust accordingly. For instance, in the last post, in the first picture, can you easily make out the tree that's there? Thanks for your help. Here's a picture for your trouble:
