Friday Night on the town

We traveled to Funks Grove tonight to see the birds at Sugar Creek Nature Center on our way back home we saw a couple of police cars do a U-Turn a few minutes later another police car whizzed by heading South. As we started to get onto the Interstate the Southbound squad car had done a U-Turn and headed North. My wife commented that it was like watching the Keystone Cops. As we neared Bloomington we saw flashing red lights ahead of us. Since the police cars had red and blue lights we assumed it was probably an ambulance or fire truck. As we got closer we noticed smoke and a glow in the sky on the West side of Bloomington. Off of Market Street we found the police cars and the source of the smoke. These are a couple of the pictures I took from the scene.






Wife found this squirrel reclining as he ate, kind of relaxed don't you think?



While at the Sugar Creek site we were able to enjoy at least three hummingbirds. Getting a little dark at the time and they move pretty quickly but a couple of the photographs turned out so here they are.

According to our newspaper's website,

"The fire was started in a grassy field as part of a celebration for some students about to start their freshman year of college, said Assistant Fire Chief"

there were no injuries, and the fire was extinguished by Bloomington's finest

Love the hummingbird pictures.
I sent a link to a friend who has been trying most of the summer to get a good shot of the birdies at her feeder.
