Hmmmm.
Are you saying I'm a duck ?
i think it was Marie-Antoinette who said,Or, as another saying goes,
Don’t eat too much cake —
Or your tummy will ache
No, that’s not the one I was looking for...
" Let them eat cheese".
I can confirm this is true!No, that`s not true for me because I really have a wonderful voice and I love it to sing.
They do.
And there's always someone who think's it would be highly amusing to spoil it for everyone else.
Greetings All, lots going on (as usual)
Quick trip report from exploring Maryland’s Patuxent River.
We started off Sunday morning on the river from an area called Selby’s Landing, headed south and east a few miles and then cut up into Mataponi Creek (named after local native Indians). Lots of flowering plants, including water lillies and water hibiscus - also known here as Marsh Mallow. The best thing in full “bloom” was the wild rice that has taken over these marshy areas. The rice was planted many years ago by Fish and Game authorities to encourage birdlife and water fowl.
Wooden Bridge Spanning Mataponi Creek with Glowing Wild Rice
We kept paddling well past this wooden bridge into areas only reachable by kayak during high tide periods. Yes, even this far away from the Chesapeake Bay the navigable waters are influenced by the tides.
The waters at the distant end are slowed considerably by thick marsh grasses and blooming algae, rice fields as well as industrious beavers that find these remote areas perfect for damming.
Crossing Over a Small Beaver Dam in Progress
With our exploration of Matoponi Creek complete, we circumnavigated a small island and headed back up the main Patuxent River channel for many miles. Along the way we spotted Snowy White Egrets, Ospreys still with their young, American Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, and tons of Red Winged Blackbirds. Additionally, we were treated to schools of jumping fish and the occasional splashing carp, catfish and bass that were all jumping to devour bugs on the calm waters.
After what seemed like a long, hot paddle, our lunch destination - Mt. Calvert House - was in view.
We soon landed to the right of the estate, enjoyed our sack lunches in the shade, then took some time to explore the Stately Home.
After lunch and our quick look of the house and grounds, we headed even further up the River to where it branches into smaller shaded waters called the West Branch.
We took some time to paddle further upstream until fallen trees and debris completely blocked our way.
Time to turn and head back home
The End.

- Mount Calvert is one of the most significant historical and archaeological sites in Prince George's County. Its rich archaeological and historical resources represent over 8000 years of human culture. Archaeological evidence shows that American Indians were present from the Archaic Period (7500-1000 BC) through the Woodland Period (1000 BC-1600 AD). Early Archaic hunters and gathers visited the Upper Patuxent River to harvest the river's natural resources. Later, Woodland Indians farmed the land and lived in permanent villages along the river until the 1600's when European settlers arrived.

I hear “Gone in 60 seconds” is a movie about a Sulcata’s lunch...
Not to interfere with Adam’s catching up, but I haven’t been able to watch the recent videos until now.
I was just able to watch this! Thank you for another beautiful song, Sabine! You have a lovely voice, and btw red suits you. [emoji173]️
