    beating the rain, with Don and Al.

    Had a nice Saturday hunt despite the rain as my amateur photography will show. A trifecta! Believe it or not this is only my second time. 🤠

    That's not a amateurish picture, Noah! Nice use of sepia toning...and making that top IH look like it's walking into the photo is genius! Very modernist how you set the entire composition sideways!

    Pretty cool cream award! I just read about it...interesting. Congrats on the trifecta!

    Nice trifecta and medal. Do you post using an iPhone because I do and it rotates my pics 90 degrees counter clockwise like yours for some reason.
