Ben and his mowing machine

It used to take me all week to cut the lawn, then it would be ready for the next cut. That was before I met Ben -- he works for the golf course next door. He's like an artist on the mower, not wasting any space or time.

He's also one of this people it just feels good to be around.

Have a look at the amazing shot taken last night of the valley we live in by a friend of mine. We've had such heat during the day with these red red sunsets. Mario is a great photographer with a gift for wildlife photography. His gallery is well worth a look especially if you like nature photography.
