Yikes, I better pay attention to the weather here today and tomorrow... “Tornado Warnings” are now in effect for the next few hours while former Hurricane Florence passes by. Raining heavily in parts of the region now.

Wow.... very cool looking. Nice pix too. Looks to be both basking AND stalking prey...on the hunt!
That is actually right in front of our gate entrance and I was waiting for the gate to open when I saw the flowers moving to the left of me quite vigorously. So I got out of my car and went to look. It was quite nice to finally be able to take a pic of something without being too late.:D

G’day all

Just catching up on postings since I was out most of Sunday - yep, kayaking at one of our new favorite spots. This new access provides access to the Chesapeake Bay north of Annapolis, but also provides easy access to some smaller more protected creeks that enter the Bay. Calm waters, nice houses, lots of wild and birdlife, not much motorboat traffic, etc.

We also paddled by one of my favorite “cute” houses with a nice garden, teak bench, and it’s on the water.

And here’s a nice old tree laying in the water...right at the start of our paddle.

We started out in very cloudy, wet, overcast conditions.....but the SUN did come out, warmed things up and it turned into a very great day on the water.

Have a great day... back to reading up and watching snails and prepping the house and garden for the remnants of Hurricane Florence that arrives a bit later today.
I don't know but there is just something about black and white photo's that appeals to me. I love your pics as usual. I hope that nothing went wrong and that you are all okay after Hurricane Florence.

Hi All, I know I don't post on here a lot but I do read everything so I know what's going on with you all!! I think you all know that last week I had the pleasure of meeting Adam and his wonderful wife. I was in Fes as part of a tour of Morocco so was able to meet up with him. He really is an amazing person and we had such a good, fun evening. I feel very lucky to have been able to meet up with him and am honoured to have him as a friend. If any of you should find yourselves in Fes he is quite easy to track down!! I hope you all have a good Monday!
We always appreciate all and any pop in's. We love catching up in the CDR. In fact our Dark Lord is the leader of catching up.;):D

Hey TFO friends. My dad has suffered some setbacks and he's being moved to hospice today. If y'all could send some good thoughts and prayers for my family I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Oh I am so so sorry Todd. I will definitly be thinking of you and your Dad and will keep him in my prayers. Please do let us know how he is doing. As he feels like part of the family. :<3::<3:

Hello, gang.
All of the sudden, some new things to mention.
I've been retired now for almost 2 weeks.
I'm settling into $3 lunches.
$3.18 to be exact.
Holi Ha, We forgot to congratulate you on your retirement. CONGRATULATIONS Ed. I hope that it is everything and more than you hope for.
