extreme frisbee golf.

saturday,  all morning long it poured down sheets of rain. my brother sent me a text asking me if i was up for some extreme frisbee golf and i said sure... what better way to spend a rainy saturday than to get soaking wet and muddy tossing hard discs at baskets?  by the time i was dressed and ready to go it had stopped raining.  eh, but we were still hoping it would start back up again, therefore, i didn't bring my new camera.  (that's right, i got a new one..i have impulse control problems, so what!).  

unfortunately, it never did rain while we were playing so instead of extreme frisbee golf we had to settle on regular ole frisbee golf . double unfortunately,  the rains left the air humid and extra warm.  not fun considering i hate sweating!

 as we were playing i started noticing so many trees with knots on them...

i stopped and said - "Oh wow!  This is pretty, I wanna get a shot of these trees."  the beast responded "No.  That is ugly!"  he knows nothing!   anyway.. the further into the woods we walked the more trees i found with these knots on them..

sorry for the blur.. camera phone.

i started to wonder if something was wrong with these trees?  is there something wrong when a tree develops these types of knots/growths on their trunks?

what ever the reason, i thought they were beautiful and really regretted not having my new camera. 

as we were almost to the last hole (basket?  what do you call them in frisbee golf?)  i noticed something on the back of my brother's shirt.  it looked like dirt but as the beast looked closer he said it was a bug.  my brother shook his shirt and it flew away but landed right back on his back.  i thought.. hey! let me get a shot of this thing...

i had to crop this to death to get it close enough to see anything but, eeeeks!  it looks like a bee getting freaky with another bug.  is that possible? lol do bugs find "love" with different species?  because, whatever that is on top of the bee is not another bee!  

maybe the bee was dead and whatever that bug is on top was carrying the bee?  either way, it was creepy!

we went on to play the front 9 again but that was all i could take, i was a hot, sweaty mess.
