COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Greetings all.

Big last day of the great Tangier Island kayaking adventure. We were out on the water early for an exploratory paddle north to Goose Island, yet another desolate deserted sandy island in the Bay. Higher winds today 10-20 knots blowing NNW across the Bay made for some interesting swells.

Back to the hotel, bags, kayaks loaded on the ferry. An hour and a quarter of open water back to home dock in Crisfield MD. where I’m spending the night. I’ll get a fresh morning start for the road trip home tomorrow.

Protected marsh land right in the car park. A few of us are stying here tonight.

Stying? Not much of a recommendation for the hotel!
Enjoy your last day!

After paws for thought I think you're probably right.

That's a Cutie. I haven't seen one yet this year. But when my grandson and I did some cleaning up we made sure to not hurt them or the butterflies. I've seen my toad and the other day a new (to my yard) species of butterfly. Maybe we'll get to see one the day we pick to do more cleaning up. I'll try to keep my phone handy for pictures.

Well this one was right next to me near my bed, so I decided to take a pic for you. The thing is that while I was watching it, I am absolutely sure that it was watching me, (we were sussing each other out) But as soon as I tried taking a close up picture it immediately moved. I found it quite funny actually.

Praying mantis are sort of scary. They seem sentient. They follow you, moving their head to keep you in view.

Yip, That is exactly what it was doing.

 

[CarolM]

Me too!!! I protect them as much as I can in my yard! One year for my birthday present from God, there was one on my kitchen wall. That one was probably about 5 inches. I had to find a way to get the critter outside safely because our cat was checking the darling out. Dilly was probably just telling me that "hay there's a scary looking bug in the house!" and expected me to save him..

The next morning it was still in my room, so I took it and put it on the outside of my window.

Good mornooning and nos da, just thought i would share cocos determination to get me up tomorrow View attachment 273203View attachment 273205

Wow, That is going to be one alarming wake up call!!

 

[CarolM]

Good evening/morning all.
I've been out most of the day with my twin sisters for their birthday so just checked in to see what you've all been up to.
Looks like it's been a quiet day in here, but hopefully everyone is busy doing nice things.
I didn't sleep well last night so I'm pretty tired and just off to bed.
So I'll not see you tomorrow , nos da!

Nighty night. I hope you sleep better this time.

Ok...I'm going to try again. Meet my little Arrow and thanks for everyone's support. It didn't work again........View attachment 273206I couldn't figure out yet how to post a teeny video.

You need to post it to youtube first, and then you copy the Youtube link and post it on a thread.

I’m terrified of them. Trying not to look at Carol’s picture much. Thank goodness it’s dark in here! [emoji33][emoji33]

AAANNNNDDDDD that is me all caught up again. Not much going on here at all lately. It must be spring/summer on your sides. I am imagining that you are all outside enjoying the sunshine or spending time with your torts outside, and that is why you are not in here enjoying the anonymity of the Dark. Have fun and enjoy the sunshine while you still can.
