I was picking up a load in Baton Rouge this week, and the warehouse where I loaded was right behind the capitol building. It was also about 40 feet from the road, and they wanted me in the dock without blocking the whole road or dropping the trailer, but that's another story. I decided to take some pictures of the Capitol, and when I walked down there to take the pics I saw this bird in a tree and got some pictures of it. The guy that was loading my truck called it a "fish crane" which sounds rather unofficial, but I'll go with that. Either way, here are the pics.

It's not every day that you get to deliver in such a beautiful location, but I had a load that took me to Gloucester Mass, and this was the scenery outside my passenger window. The dock where I was unloaded was literally right on this beautiful dock, so I walked around and enjoyed this scenery and took these pictures while they unloaded me. The rustic charm of this old New England town is breathtaking, and the smell of the breeze blowing in off of the ocean is so refreshing. I look forward to getting another load back over there, but until that day I have these pictures to remind me.
