Swanning around the lake

Our hares introduced 27 of us to some new territory this last Sunday, taking us on a scenic tour of Warner Lakes and giving us a chance to collide with the many locals out for their Sunday constitutionals. At a couple of "feeding station" checks we threw bread at scores of turtles and ducks as well as a pair of black swans and their cygnets. They all politely ate it.

Here's a shot of water thick with turtles - thanks to wildlife photographer Superhacker!

Hopalong has been doing some running recently, and she joined the runners group for a stretch....

Back home at the ranch, we auctioned an (unworn) Perth Interhash Red Dress Run shirt donated by Eweshggr. The proceeds go to the Home Away from Homelessness women's shelter. Escargot was the successful bidder (and incidentally, did take part in the Perth Interhash Red Dress run. For some reason, she never got the shirt.) Here she is (with Hopalong) modelling her acquisition.

A few members of the hungry hordes:


In a traditional quaint naming ceremony, a couple who have enthusiastically joined us on every run/walk for the last few weeks received their Hash monikers. Welcome to Cadbury ("it only takes a glass and a half") and Shaggy (according to his wife, the long hair he had as a youth has migrated further south - he's willing to show it off for a small fee.)

Shaggy and Cadbury:
