A creepy pumpkin-headed scarecrow at the Fallsburg Fall Festival

Some kids playing on a tire swing

My sister (Valerie) smelling a flower

A bug on a tree (yeah, I know some of these descriptions are really uncreative. fuking deal with it, okay?)

People playing in a stream.

Close-up of a couple kids by the stream, and a balloon

Walking into the Kalamazoo Nature Center, which turned out to be closed that day because of some stupid bluegrass festival

My sister feeding a swan at the Kellog Bird Sanctuary, which was not closed that day

This swan tried eating my dad's hand when the kernels of corn were gone

Another family feeding the birds

I think this is a red-tailed hawk. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's almost like they were posing.

A few tired owls

A sleeping owl

This poor bird only had one eye, so he was cowering in the corner in order to be able to see anything that might come at him.
