its a beautiful day (111/115)
My photo friend, Louis, and I took a quick outing to two waterfalls, White Owl and Whitewater Falls. Whitewater Falls may be the most impressive waterfall in North Carolina. Located on NC 281 about 8.5 miles south of US 64, this is an easy waterfall to get to.
I've been to Whitewater Falls each of the last three weeks trying to capture the peak colors. Today they were good but still about five days away from the best colors. This photo was taken about 2pm. It seems like this is a good time. By 3pm there is a large diagonal shadow crossing the lower falls.

I took this photo at Magee Marsh but since it wasn't a warbler I didn't pay any attention to it until now as I was going back through my Magee photos in preparation for going again this year. I just identified it as an Eastern Kingbird using one of the identifiers on the Internet.

Gregor is a German artist working at the Chalkfest 2015 in Venice, FL. Gregor's English is about as good a my German, but we managed to share a chuckle or two. My best German was learned at the Lowenbrau Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair in Queens, NY. Here is the extent of my German -- Fräulein, ein Bier hier, bitte.

Les activités maritimes à Carantec
En 1890, 9 bateaux sont construits à Carantec. Les chantiers Eugène Moguérou fonctionnaient dans la décennie 1920, construisant des yachts à moteur comme l'Achillée III construit en 1926. Les chantiers Élies, Mével (créé en 1935 au port de Carantec par François Mével décédé accidentellement en 1957), Nédélec (créé par Jean Nédélec sur la grève du Clouet et concepteur du « monotype de Carantec ») ont continué cette tradition de chantiers navals, davantage orientés vers la plaisance désormais, tout au long du XXe siècle. Le chantier Ernest Sibiril, qui existe depuis 1789, est désormais orienté vers les constructions neuves exclusivement de pilotines, vedettes de sauvetage, etc. Ces chantiers se sont aussi développés récemment à Roscoff-Le Bloscon ; en difficultés financières, ce chantier naval a trouvé un repreneur en 2011, ce qui a permis de sauver 15 de ses 28 emplois.
En 1899 et à nouveau en 1921 - 1922, des invasions de pieuvres provoquèrent une ruine temporaire des pêcheurs de la région, y compris de ceux de Carantec. « En 1889 les pieuvres ravagèrent tout, pis à la suite d'une violente tempête, elles vinrent en telle quantité à la côte qu'elles y crevèrent et qu'on dut les enfouir. C'est à cette époque que sombra le dundee dunkerquois Saint-Pierre-de-Calais ; l'équipage put être sauvé, mais le capitaine, enlacé par les pieuvres, fut littéralement dévoré. C'était la répétition du drame décrit par Victor Hugo dans Les travailleurs de la mer. L'invasion de 1921-1922 ne le cède en rien à celle de 1899, avec cette seule différence qu'il n'y a pas eu de victime humaine ».
La récolte du goémon a longtemps été importante : en 1925 « le ramassage est d'un bon rapport et toujours à la disposition des riverains en abondance. Du côté de Carantec, 38 goémoniers s'en occupent ; la tonne de varech revient à 180 francs ».
La pêche était très active : par exemple le journal Ouest-Éclair écrit en 1925 :« Les ormeaux, les moules, les berniques sont récoltées en grand nombre, à Locquirec et à Carantec, d'où on en a expédié beaucoup ».
Le commandant Louis Bernicot navigateur solitaire parti à bord de son cotre de 12,5 m de long, l'Anahita, de Carantec le 26 août 1936, fut le premier navigateur solitaire à réussir la traversée du détroit de Magellan, faisant escale au Chili, puis à Tahiti, puis à la Réunion pour accoster au Verdon le 30 mai 1938.

Maritime activities in Carantec
In 1890, nine boats are built in Carantec. The Eugene Moguérou shipyard operated in the 1920s, building motor yachts as Yarrow III built in 1926. Elies, Mével (created in 1935 at the port of Carantec by François Mével died accidentally in 1957), Nédélec (created by Nedelec Jean Clouet on strike and designer of "monotype Carantec") shipyards continued this tradition of shipbuilding, more oriented towards pleasure now, throughout the twentieth century. The yard Ernest Sibiril, which exists since 1789, is now facing new buildings exclusively pilot boats, rescue entry terms, etc. These projects have also recently developed in Roscoff-The Bloscon; in financial difficulties, the shipyard has found a buyer in 2011, which has saved 15 out of 28 jobs.
In 1899 and again in 1921-1922, the octopus invasions caused a temporary ruin of the fishermen in the area, including those of Carantec. "In 1889 octopus ravaged everything, worse after a violent storm, they came in such numbers to the coast they put out there and we had to bury these octopus. It was at this time that the Dunkirk sank Dundee Saint-Pierre-de-Calais; the crew could be saved, but the captain, snared with the octopus, was literally devoured. It was a repetition of the tragedy described by Victor Hugo in The sea workers. The invasion of 1921-1922 not inferior in any way to that of 1899, with the only difference that there was no victim human. "
Harvesting seaweed has long been important: in 1925 "collection is good value and always available to residents in abundance. On the side of Carantec, 38 seaweed care for them; ton of kelp returns to 180 francs. "
Fishing was very active: eg West-Éclair newspaper wrote in 1925: "The abalone, mussels, limpets are harvested in large numbers, and in Locquirec Carantec, where we shipped a lot."
The commander Louis Bernicot solo sailor party on board his cutter 12.5 m long, Anahita, Carantec August 26, 1936, was the first successful solo sailor to cross the Strait of Magellan, calling in Chile then in Tahiti, then to the dock at Verdon Meeting for May 30, 1938.

Even as the Earth turns into Spring,
Angling its torso towards the sun,
So like birds our hearts begin to sing,
Touched by time as tides by moonlight run,
Ebbing as faith faces the long night,
Returning with the laughter and the light.

It was great to see the Common Darters out in force in the gardens at RHS Hyde Hall this evening! Like this one, quite a few were perching on one of the wooden bridges!
Hare's Ear is a distinctive fungus of deciduous and mixed woodlands. The ear-shaped cups appear in groups on the soil and leaf litter in the autumn, often near paths.
The fruiting body of the Hare's Ear fungus is a large lop-sided cup 3-10 cm high with slightly inrolled margins.The inner surface is smooth and pinkish-yellow to orange in colour. The outer surface is paler buff colour and slightly scurfy. It has a short, hairy basal stem.
The Fish Gate, the Gate of Third Millennium is a building (sculpture) in the form of a gate, which is located in the Lednickie Fields by Lake Lednickie. It alludes to the symbol of Jesus Christ.
It was built on the initiative of Dominican Father Jan Góra from Poznań (who died in 2015 and is buried here). The characteristic "fish gate" is a symbol of the Lednica Fields, held every summer of the National Youth Meetings. Near the gate, there is also a pilgrim's house, a chapel, a small museum of John Paul II memorabilia and other facilities related to the service of pilgrims. The Dominican Order from Poznań takes care of this place.
Admission to the area is open, there are parking lots for cars and coaches nearby. This place is also a big tourist attraction.

Brama Ryba, Brama Trzeciego Tysiąclecia jest budowlą (rzeźbą) w formie bramy, która znajduje się na Polach Lednickich nad jeziorem Lednickim. Nawiązuje ona do symbolu Jezusa Chrystusa.
Została wybudowana z inicjatywy poznańskiego dominikanina o. Jana Góry (zm. w 2015 roku i tutaj jest pochowany). Charakterystyczna "brama ryba" jest symbolem Pól Lednickich, odbywający się każdego lata Ogólnopolskich Spotkań Młodych. W pobliżu bramy znajduje się również dom pielgrzyma, kaplica, niewielkie muzeum pamiątek po papieżu Janie Pawle II oraz inne obiekty związane z obsługą pielgrzymów. Opiekę nad tym miejscem sprawuje zakon Dominikanów z Poznania.
Wstęp na teren jest otwarty, pobliżu znajdują się parkingi dla samochodów i autokarów. Miejsce to jest również dużą atrakcją turystyczną.
