Taking a hiatus from wildlife shots for a bit... so here is a different part of Mystic, this spot discovered while taking our son for a bike ride to uncharted (for us) area of town.

Not an uncommon sight around here...fences, shacks, garages, even sides of houses draped with scores of floats old and new.

Ugh, forgot to convert profile before saving as JPG leading to a grossly unsaturated version of the image... please see Float Shack Take II for the accurate colors of this shot.

This is from inside the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. I like this because it uses the "original intent" of a Founding Father to refute the idea that we should live in a nation with laws based on the Founding Fathers' "original intent." (I, too, can be a hypocrite I suppose...except that I cite Jefferson as my prerogative, not because I believe I'm compelled to do so.) I also like this because it suggests that changes to the Constitution should be borne from enlightenment, progress, new truths -- and not from the base, animal fear and single-minded insularity and intolerance that seems to drive most proposals I hear floated about for amending the Constitution.
