McHenry Prairie Trail biking

Today, after Ellen's Yoga class, we headed to McHenry's Panera Bread for lunch and then biked 20 miles on the Prairie Trail to Genoa City and back. We often have wildlife sightings since most of our mileage is through forest preserves, and today was no exception -- EXCEPT for the wildlife involved. Normally it's deer, waterfowl, and birds, but today it was frogs, lizards, this good-sized turtle...

... and a swarm of hundreds of yellow butterflies, which we tried to photograph, but though their swarm formations were large, they were difficult to photograph.

Ok Chuck I found out how to tell when you know you have hit old age....
You go to a big party and you want to party hard. So you decide to take some drugs until you find out how high your co-pay is and there isn't a generic alternative.
