Frohes Neues Jahr !

Lasst uns hoffen, dass wir das Trockendock der Pandemie bald verlassen und wieder in ein unbeschwertes Leben aufbrechen können !

Happy New Year !

Let us hope that we can leave the dry dock of the pandemic soon and start again into a carefree life !

Belmont Slough

An interesting sight I came across the other day. It seems this area of the lake has been taken over by the American Lotus plant and this is the view in the Fall after the plant's leaves die off. I thought it made for an interesting pattern and natural abstract of sorts.

Fallen dry leafs look great on this ornamental Blue spruce.

Backlit Cormarant at Reddish flapping its wings to dry off.

Typical Cormorant pose as it dries out after a dive.

When they dive for a fish, their wings become saturated and heavy which actually helps them to dive quicker. However, they are unable to fly like this so "hang themselves out to dry."

It is winter here and there are no live flowers left in the garden. For this theme I have chosen a section of dried white Hydrangea flower which I picked from the garden a few days ago.

I don't know what it is about dried thistles, but when I see 'em, I gotta shoot 'em.

In Philadelphia, waiting for a new role, the U.S.S. United States, the largest luxury passenger liner ever built. It is also the fastest ship to ever cross the Atlantic, still holding the record. She is 990 feet long (the length of 3 football fields) and sped along at 35 knots per hour (40 miles or 65 km). Imagine seeing this rush by!

Two of my family members were on the 2nd crossing in 1952, leaving Southampton, England, when emigrating from Scotland to the United States.
