Another day, another walk. Not actual quail, but a nice sight along the trail.

My folks finally go their new gas fireplace installed at their home today, replacing a good old unit that finally gave up two years ago. My effort at drawing a quick use guide for the remote control for my dad. Not sure it helps, but I tried. Today was a good day, bright out,...
