What a long strange trip it's been! I have been playing some serious hooky up in Maine...Now back in NJ and not sure my head's on straight. I do know that I was not on the internet very much with just an iphone and ipad, and now in front of my computer...it's so big!

The last post I started (3 weeks ago!) but did not complete was about raspberries and how I was picking them by the bowlful. I intended to write about how raspberries were just like steemit...but can't conjur up why for the life of me!

Here are the raspberry pics:

ripening on the vine

ready for picking!

And then one day a monarch butterfly! Hard to photograph with my iphone - so much fluttering around!

and fully open

and a favorite...One day after a rain a FULL rainbow and it was a double! The whole rainbow would not even fit in the iphone screen (I guess I could have used 'panoramic' but I am a dope sometimes!

So back to reality (and back to work!!), but not before checking in on some of my favorite posters...Here's one about BIG STRIPED BASS! WOW! worth a look
