* More Blue Ridge *

    I hope that everybody is enjoying the Adventures of Koala Man.

    Also, Tuesday's Biological picture of what was thought to have been a
Peregrine Falcon was actually a large Hawk. I came to the conclusion after
further examination of the larger image.

    Today's picture shows me standing on a large rock overlooking the Blue
Ridge mountains. You can see several of the annoying, flying insects in the
picture as well. While pulling off a branch to use to swat the bugs away I
found that the scent of the branch actually drove the insects away. It had a
sweet smell to it much like those disgusting Halloween wax candies that many
of us use to enjoy as a child.
    I will most likely send a picture of the branch very soon.
