It's that time of year again where our neighbors and fellow towns people gather together for the County Fair.  They haven't changed a whole lot since I was a child.  There's still the cotton candy, the corned dog, the elephant ears and rides to make you wish you'd waited to eat your favorite treat.

When I saw this month's ABS Challenge painting I thought about how much I've missed riding my bike!  I grew up in the country and my brothers and I used to ride all over hill and dale and follow local railroad tracks to get to our small town's general store and its soda machine with Nehi grape pop.  That and a bag of Lay's potato chips were the fuel that drove us.

Fishermen are a superstitious bunch.  They always have favorite lures that when all else fails they pull out for a guaranteed hook-up.  On a recent fishing trip in British Columbia our guide had this marvelous old lure sitting atop the dash of his boat.  

I've been loving Studio Waterstone's blog ring where bloggers around the world post macro photos of their heart's content.  This week I thought I'd join in with a photo I took this past week while in Montana.
