Animals Attack

Ok... so, Marcus makes the roadie from Baxter on Tuesday morning and we got his session in despite the heat that had to be in the nineties by 10 a.m. He and I had a good time discussing our love for the Cubs... and about his sports... typical stuff.

What was atypical was some weird animal karma that Marcus brought with him on this day.

Early on in the session when we were down in the creek... he admitted his fear of snakes. I'm not gonna lie... I'm not a big fan either... and I have seen them from time to time in that area of town. But we didn't on this day. The snake topic came up again a few minutes later when in some high overgrown grass for his bow hunting image... again... no snakes.

That being said... we put the bow away and walked to a tree and a toad jumped in front of us... and you woulda thought it was a cobra judging by our senior's reaction. Then we nearly were swarmed by hornets followed by a bird of some kind that was none to happy that we ventured near her nest wedged into a shed. You get the picture... it was just an odd session with creatures of all kinds.

The only normal "creature" there on Tuesday was Momma Deanna who I'd like to thank for bringing child number two to me... sounds like we have about a decade to wait for number three... but God willing... i'll be ready. I hope Mom enjoyed watching Marcus and I dodge birds, hornets, frogs and a mosquito or two.

Oh... one other thing... loyal followers of our blog will remember that we had a perfect gray-card tossing session last week with Cole from West Branch. Well, it seems that people have stepped up their game as we were a perfect 10-for-10 on Tuesday.... until the LAST throw. Marcus perhaps sniffing the aroma of immortality got a little flippant with the last throw... and BAM.... it hits the tripod and I cannot make the grab. 10-for-11 ain't bad, my friend. Not bad at all. ;-)
