Another attempt at creating a page from our little get-away. Now to the OOPS.......We took an 8 mile one way drive through the preserve. When I saw something interesting my husband would stop the car and I would hop out to take a picture. Sometimes I would use my phone so that I might have something for "Today's Picture". Well after one such stop we traveled quite a distance when I realized that I didn't have my phone. I thought it must have fallen out of my pocket at the last stop. Being it is one-way I knew I would have to walk back and just hoped I would find it. I got out of the car, preparing to walk back when I saw my phone on top of the hood of the car! It was amazing that it didn't fall off. My husband who has helped me search for my lens cap more times than either one of us like to remember is looking forward to telling this story to the grandkids. BUT....if I had thought like cats4jan , I would have taken a picture of the phone on the hood of the car with my camera, and could have added a bit of humor (?) to the page above.

Another attempt at creating a page from our little get-away. Helen, great page. Wonderful photos and the photos show off the best of Forsythe! Now that we live much closer to that park, we really do need to get there! Question for you...were there any green flys? Those things hunt for me when they're around. I have to avoid them.
I'm also glad you solved the mystery of the missing phone!

That's quite a feel good story, really brings home how much we've all become attached to our 'phones and the panic that happens when we can't find them! I take it there is a very slow speed limit through the reserve? Nice to see so many different birds calling it home.

Glad for your happy ending.
One time, when my eyes were bothering me, I hooked my glasses to the strap on my purse. Noticed they were missing and assumed I had dropped them in the street while getting in the car. Since it was dark out, I asked DH to back the car up so the headlights would illuminate the road.
Yep - you know where this story is going...
It's amazing what a car's tire can do to a pair of glasses.
And...
I love your page and those wonderful photos. Looks like a great place to visit.
I like your comment about needing to take a photo of the incident. Soon you will be like me - seeing a scrapbook page in every event in your life and you will just naturally take a photo of the silliest stuff.

.were there any green flys? Not terrible except for one stop.....didn't notice the color. I take it there is a very slow speed limit through the reserve? Speed limit was 15 mph. is that bird on the perch bottom right clutching dinner by any chance? I'm guessing yes. Soon you will be like me - seeing a scrapbook page in every event in your life and you will just naturally take a photo of the silliest stuff. I can see where being aware of the possibilities for a story at the moment would be a great incentive to create a fun page. Now just to become more aware of those "moments".
