That will DO, thank you!
I do have more pictures..
Mr.B arrived home late, and the computer crashed...
It seemed to take forever to upload these to Fotki..
I thought I would post a few tonight..
and I will put the rest up tomorrow...

We could not have asked for better weather...
Everyone was so friendly..
It was a letter perfect/picture perfect day!
If you will note the scenery...this is an incredibly beautiful gentleman's farm, that sits high on a hill..
It is a gorgeous place....
Ms.B

One of our firearms historians will have to explain why they call it "skeet shooting" when you're shooting "clay pigeons." ;)

I found this much info on m-w.com:

Main Entry: skeet
Pronunciation: 'skEt
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from Norwegian skyte to shoot
: trapshooting in which clay targets are thrown in such a way as to simulate the angles of flight of birds

That explains why the clay targets are sometimes called "clay pigeons," but I'd think the Norwegian roots make it redundant to use "skeet" and "shooting" together. LOL
