auto pics

The new Scion is a fun vehicle and gets 35 mpg.
I got it used, long story, but it sure is fun.

The cab corners and the little bit of wheel well rust are the worst things on the truck.

Beach Tday two

Ray wanted Jane to take a picture of us, and this is what we came up with. Weather at the time the picture was taken, 70 degrees, wind gusting to 25 kts, nothing but high cirrus above.

Reflections

Happy chefs pausing from the low country boil with little neck clams.

The local seafood man had this pricelist, but it was noted verbally that it was 10% off for locals.

Eagles

A pair of eagles were hanging around in the pine trees when I went out to check the air, and try out something I had read in a photo magazine.

They took off and came back in a few minutes with one holding a fish in the beak and the other following.

Here the one following came close enough that I caught it in flight.

Must be a great place to live if eagles live here.

Beach Thanksgiving

The beach from the deck of the Blue Parrot the day before Thanksgiving. The wind was blowing 20kts and gusting, and the temp was around 40 degrees. It warmed up for
Thanksgiving Day.

Water Street in Apalachicola still has a few fishing boats docked, but it is nothing like the bustle in days passed.

This picture attempted to catch the fact that the building is leaning, but due to me standing on the ground with the lens that I had, it did not bring out the difference between the light pole (plumb) and the building (leaning by a few degrees).

This is the chapel at Berry College where we saw Patrick get married. It is a lovely stone building at the end of a long drive into the Berry College campus.
Clouds are always interesting to watch, as weather or as the simple/complex patterns that that they create on the sky and in the mind.
