    We saw one of these (an adult, though) wandering around in our garden. In Seattle, walking distance from downtown. We live up against the edge of a green belt.

    Seattle, I didn't get out of town this weekend. Actually we're looking at Bellevue (from Seattle).

    Walking around a "Pirate Ship" in Manteo, NC (going around the sound, which is the water between the islands and the mainland):

    It's a very cool little town. This is close to "The Outer Banks", and where the "Lost Colony" was located.

    This is walking over a nice footbridge on the way to/from the "Lost Colony":

    This is from a really cool sand dunes park in Kill Devil Hills, NC:

    This is a great place to go fly kites and see the sunset. It's very windy. You won't have any trouble flying your kite.

    This is standing atop "Kill Devil Hill", which is where the Wright brothers tested their gliders. Eventually, they successfully tested their airplane on the field below. Back in their day, the landscape was entirely sand. Grass was later brought in as I understand to help preserve the location for posterity as the area is occasionally subject to fierce hurricanes land-changing wind/water forces.

    ^^^ That is actually a legit hill, too...it would make for a great fitness park. Just walk over and/or around the hill all day.

    On the field below:

    I wanna show you guys something that I find amazing. This place is Þingvellir where the Celtic and the Viking settlers of Iceland funded the first parliament the summer the year 930, over 1000 years ago.

    Not only is that place one of the most important places in the viking saga but it's also where America and Europe come together. You can stand with one foot in America, the other one in Europe or just dive between the continents. This place is so dear to me. I love Þingvellir and the history.

    I still haven't dived there. I'm to afraid of it as it's a dangerous place to swim in and the water is freezing.

    This is stunningly beautiful! I'm with you on avoiding the rough surf. You have to try hard to beat water.

    I can't really capture it on my phone to do it justice...but the two above pics showing water are along a path in that park called 'Secret Creek Trail'...lol. But, it's so beautiful. Most of the trail is really either roots or giant rocks sort of tucked away behind a hill that you would never know was there...

    Went on a recent walk up this little mountain we have here that overlooks a big part of the ocean and our city. Gorgeous little view. Nice to have picnics at!

    So jelly of that view!

    the wild horses were cool. I did come across a herd of cows with a bull, he was getting pretty pissed at my presence so I left quickly!

    I took some canal pictures too but IG I's at *kitten* to link.

    Omg that is so scary! I had a client that needed to see a specialist because he had been gored by his bull. :scream: I know they're generally docile but *kitten*. I'm glad I didn't have to see you posting a video of you peddling away as the bull runs after you! Is your IG public? I'd love to appreciate your lips scenic photos.

    Lol i genuinely don't know, I'm really bad with social media.

    unfortunately kace all the pictures on my IG are scenic photos :D
