Next week I'll go back to food and travel, but for now I'll leave you with a few more pics of the flora, fauna and fowl from the lake behind my house, all wonderful God-given gifts. At left you'll see my first non-blurry 
photo of the crane in flight. At right, my artsy version of fungus growing on a tree. Bottom left was my beautiful clematis before my husband decided to trim the bushes and zipped right through its skinny 
little stem. By the next day, all I had was dead flowers hanging pathetically on the fence. Stop by in a few days for a new country and a recipe!
