It’s Fathers Day. Congratulations to all the fathers out there, I hope your loved ones are spoiling you, my family is. This is my dad. He is gone now and I miss him. Here is in a shady spot in the woods with a beer in hand, relaxing with family and friends. He loved doing stuff like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is our Kodi the dog on a walk passing a guantlet of shadows. The little guy lives to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is my favorite place, Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area here in Tulsa. The bright sun sure makes for deep shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday I was part of a cleanup effort on Turkey Mountain<\/a> sponsored by the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition<\/a>. These two people were helping me clear one of the trails. Extra nice because they both had just finished running a 5K trail race on the mountain and then they grabbed the loppers and cleared out about three miles of trail. A very impressive pair of young people. I have no patience with people who disparage the generation coming up. Not me, I am very impressed with their work ethic, caring, and sense of community. Not just these two but almost everybody I meet. And as common in Tulsa we chatted a little bit and we knew people in common. I swear, Tulsa is the biggest small town I have ever lived in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was with them but then on a stubborn limb I was lopping, the limb gave way suddenly and one of the lopper handles popped me right on the mouth and split my lip. I bled all over my spiffy yellow safety vest. My companions gave me some gauze so I hiked a mile or so back to the lot and eventually made my way to urgent care where they cleaned my face up and sent me home with no stitches but a huge headache. I’m sure they are saying something like, “I knew we should of taken the old guy’s loppers away from him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I digress. I’m linking with Shadow Shot Sunday 2<\/strong><\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
