New York and Bermuda

New York City

Nice shot of the Pidgeon!

Dozens of die-hard surf dudes and dudettes kept out of the frame.

Beautiful beach shot!

Couple pictures from the Wednesday run through Franklin County. It was COLD on Summit Ridge this morning. See the old cemetery in the background? The selfie picture is the "checkpoint" of a fun little race I sometimes have with a former trainee who works for another utility now. She'll text me on Wednesday morning- "Hey! You wanna' race today?" and we try to finish our rounds and get back to the Plant first.


*note the horses are wearing their blankets in the shot of the road in to Boones Mill Water Treatment Plant. We could see single-digit temps at night this week and windchill.

Greg, the colour of the sky is unbelievably wonderful!

This was our view of Mt. Baker from across the strait on our hike this morning.  Sometimes it seems so close - other times it seems incredibly far away.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Gregory, the weather there looks a lot like the weather here.

Love that shot of Mt. Baker.

Near the Drakensteyn Ditch (a playmeadow, TBH).

Adriaan; nice looking trail.

Playmeadow = Park? Recreational Area?

(these things interest me...)

I'm out for a walk myself, this very minute. In a weird turn of circumstances, it's 70° out, the snow is still melting off Fort Lewis Mountain... and my electricity went out. Never even blinked during the ice storm. Go figure.

I was lazy, so I transliterated an old Dutch word for a playground. But you got the drift.

Thanks Adriaan. FC translated the label in this little cello for me one time, and that's about the extent of my Dutch lexicon. Den Häag = I knew it was from a shop near The Hague. 

In another lifetime, I would like to study languages. It came to me one time, playing music was very much like a speaking a language...
