January 7th 2008 was generally clear but there were frequent showers. As the tide was high I though the Bridge should look especially good towards sunset. This view is from the South side looking North East; as you can see the Sun was already low.
On January 24, 2026, I just put down the last of the bird seed I brought with me for my friends, turned around to take pictures of the ice fog emanating off the river, then turned back to go home. To my surprise, three fawns were munching down the seeds. I was able to get this photo and then my camera battery died!
January 23, 2025, at Reserva de Avifauna, Sutú, Mistrató, Risaralda, Colombia.
I last saw a Gray-cheeked thrush (Catharus minimus) more than 40 years ago when I lived in New England.
It's an uncommon bird that breeds from Newfoundland to Alaska in North America and across the Bering Sea to Eastern Siberia. Their non-breeding range when in migration is Panamá and northern South America
The Coconut Grove Playhouse was a theatre in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. The building was originally constructed as a movie theater called the Player's State Theater. It opened on January 3, 1927, as a part of the Paramount chain. The movie house was designed by the architect Richard Kiehnel of Kiehnel and Elliott. It was built by local realtors Irving J. Thomas and Fin L. Pierce. Albert Peacock was the contractor.
The theater was renowned as the second movie theatre on the east coast of Florida to be air conditioned and having the largest Wurlitzer organ in the United States. It was used for a variety of shows until closing in 2006. It has not been used since. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
In the 1950s George Engle, an oilman, bought it and spent over $1 million (equivalent to $47 million in 2017) in renovations having the architect Alfred Browning Parker convert it to a live theatre. It reopened on January 3, 1956 with the US premiere of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, starring Bert Lahr and Tom Ewell.
In the fifty years that have followed, the Playhouse has played host to many of theater's most renowned performers, including Maureen Stapleton, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Eve Arden, Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing, Liza Minnelli, Linda Lavin, Bea Arthur, George C. Scott, Colleen Dewhurst, Ethel Merman, and Raúl Esparza.
Between 1964 and 1965, The Coconut Grove Playhouse was used by The Miami Actors Company, which was meant to be an extension of the National Theatre and Academy. The brainchild of Ilse Earl, who taught theatre classes at Miami Dade College, launched this effort. Only 20 actors from Miami and surrounding areas were chosen to become part of this historic event, out of more than 100 or so of those who were asked to audition.
The company was reviewed by The Miami Herald theatre critic at that time. Shows involved, among others, were J.B. by Archibald MacLeish; All the Way Home by Tad Mosel; and Slow Dance on the Killing Ground by William Hanley. Slow Dance was a hurried replacement which had to be put in place within ten days of rehearsal, replacing Hogan's Goat.
In 1982, actor-director José Ferrer was named Artistic Director, and under his supervision the Playhouse gained a reputation as one of the nation's leading theatres. In 1985, Arnold Mittelman was selected after a national search to succeed Mr. Ferrer. Among the productions that premiered here prior to a Broadway opening are Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, and Urban Cowboy. Sherry Glaser’s Family Secrets moved to off-Broadway and became its longest running one-woman show. The Playhouse presented the world premiere of Fame: The Musical, which went on to great success in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and London’s West End, and mounted a revival of Death of a Salesman, starring Hal Holbrook and Elizabeth Franz, prior to a national tour. The theatre now has two stages, the 1700-seat proscenium Mainstage Theater and the intimate 100-seat Encore Room Theater.
The Playhouse provided a broad range of programs for all ages, including the In-School Touring Program, which presented plays aimed at students in grades six through twelve, Lizard Lessons, original plays with music for kindergarten through third grade, a Summer Theater Camp for teens, and Theater Stages, which teaches acting techniques, playwriting, costume and scenery design, and improvisation to children, teens, and adult performers.
On November 22, 1996, Late Show with David Letterman originated from the theater. It was the last episode of the show not to originate from New York.
The Coconut Grove Playhouse closed in 2006 due to an accumulated debt, which many believed was due to the high operating costs of running the large 1,130-seat theatre. The theatre remains closed to this date. In January 2014, however, Miami-Dade County received permission from the State of Florida to take over the building.
At the time of the Miami-Dade County takeover, there were several ideas for the use of the space. The current plan approved by the State of Florida is for a 300-seat theatre at the venue to be operated by GableStage, a renowned South Florida theatre company currently operating in a 150-seat theatre at the historic Biltmore Hotel. GableStage would work in association with Florida International University and their theatre department, working with them to provide students there with professional, real world experience. At the time of the approval, the City of Miami government waived 1.5 million dollars worth of previously accumulated building violation fees.
This plan was rivaled by a proposal for creating a 700-seat theatre at the space. The group presenting this proposal was led by Mike Eidson, trust chairman at the Adrienne Arsht Center, a large performance complex in downtown Miami. Eidson's involvement in the deal was separate from his position at the Arsht Center. Kevin Spacey was cited as a backer of the plan, with Eidson claiming that he would be interested in serving as an advisor in the project and possibly working as an artistic director upon reopening. Spacey worked in a similar position in reviving London's Old Vic Theatre. This proposal was not passed, however it is still being considered as an option. A county chairman encouraged Eidson to "postpone" his plans, suggesting that the idea is not completely out of sight.
The 700-seat theatre option has received mixed reviews. Ann Anthony, executive director of Miami's Mad Cat Theatre Company, is one of the plan's many opponents. She cited the difficulty of filling a large theatre and the presence of two large theatres nearby, the Miracle Theatre and the venues at the Adrienne Arsht Center. Many people support the plan though, hoping that with Kevin Spacey's backing that the theatre could bring in big stars and become a prominent regional theatre once again.[
After a long bidding process between 9 architecture firms, Miami-Dade county commissioners voted for Arquitectonica to restore the venue and bring it up to current building codes. $20 million in voter-approved bond money has been set aside to fund this project. The building is deemed a historical landmark so it cannot be fully demolished, but many residents are concerned that much of the building will not be preserved.
Preservation architect Richard Heisenbottle sketched a plan for the restoration of the venue that could fit the smaller 300-seat space and the 700-seat theatre proposed by Eidson, and keep most of the original exterior. Upon this development, Arquitectonica was tasked with looking into the budgetary requirements for this plan as well as how much of the historic architecture could be saved if the venue had two performance spaces.

"January is represented by a man dressed in a long tunic; a heavy toga is draped on top of the tunic, over his left arm and shoulder. The borders of the toga are ornamented with gems. On his head is a fur cap, out of which flows a long veil. He wears shoes or slippers. He is in the act of sacrifice, throwing incense on or pointing to flames that rise with much smoke into the air before him. The flames are in a burner at the figure's right; behind the burner is a rooster. The male holds a trefoil-flower or leaf in his left hand. To the left of the man is a covered jar or urn on a large base."

50 meters from my parents' house where I spent my whole childhood. Definitely nostalgic.

On 10 January 2017 we asked the Lord Mayor of London to honour the memory of the fifty six people who died during the air raid blitz at Bank tube station on that day in 1941. The bomb caused devastating damage, collapsing the sub-surface ticket hall roof and with the bomb impact continuing down the escalator shaft to Central line platform level. The hand carved Welsh slate plaque is to the new design for our memorials and is in our Johnston typeface. This photo shows the Lord Mayor, representatives of the City and Corporation of London, the emergency services and LU staff. That's me in the light coat.
January Sun has powerful colour but is still weak. How decorative alder is in it's waiting....

19th January 2019:
It was lovely this morning so as soon as I was ready I decided to make the most of it. Sadly, by the time I was ready, it had clouded over and we had a downpour.
The sun came out again while I was having lunch, which wasn't helpful. But, at teatime it came out again and I rushed out. Only as far as the car park, but it was good to get out.
Noticed these lovely berries with raindrops on them and decided on this for today's photo.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

31 January 2021: Number of coronavirus infections continues to rise. In the week to 27 January on average 2,245 people tested positive each day. The figure is up 11% on the week. The number of hospitalisations and deaths from the virus fall. The latter is most likely the result of the higher percentage of younger people testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. Yesterday, it was also announced that the first 80,000 doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine for Belgium will be delivered on 7 February. A second delivery of 200,000 doses is planned ten days later. It is still unclear whether the vaccine will be used to vaccinate the over 65s in Belgium. There has been much discussion about its suitability for older people as there is little test data on its effectiveness among that age group. It could well be the case that it works equally well at protecting older people but more research is needed before this can be confirmed and Belgian experts are awaiting data from the UK where the AstraZeneca vaccine has already been administered on a large scale to the elderly before they’ll make a final decision. What all of this means for the timing of the vaccination campaign is still unclear. The day before yesterday Mr Jambon, the Flemish Prime Minister, said that if the manufactures deliver supplies of their vaccines according to plan every Fleming that wants to be vaccinated will have received their first dose of the vaccine before the summer. Yesterday, the chairman of the vaccination taskforce announced that if everything remains unchanged the vaccination programme should be complete by September. Net-net, there are too many unknowns to accurately forecast the timing of the campaign. We’ll have to wait and see how it all unfolds. Today’s mural is part of a campaign that addresses domestic violence. Lockdowns around the world are bringing a rise in domestic violence as households are forced into permanent cohabitation. The campaign aims to provide information, support and protect victims – Ghent, Belgium.

It's a new year! I am happily continuing my monthly calendar pages for cellphone wallpaper. I really love seeing Blythe dolls when I open my phone! The calendar is handy, too.
The second photo (www.flickr.com/photos/leslieshappyheart/31614694347/in/da...) shows how January's photo looks on my phone. Feel free to use it if you like it--the Candy Carnival twins really think you should!
