Cujo?
What did you see on your walk?
Al~ you really need to get some sleep,those circles under your eyes are getting noticabel!
I think he could use a good shave at the barbershop too!
Got to 34 here today and I got Mr. Chompers out on a walk. These pics are all b shots, but interesting
Sunset with paper mill
Sun was setting when we were downtown
Went out on the ice below the locks
I thought this pic was funny
There were 3 eagles by the nest way out on the island, here is one.
Great shots Al! Are those nuts fishing? I haven't been out to take photos for days!
Al, that sunset picture is awesome!!!!!! They are all good but i love sunrise and sunset pictures and that one is outstanding! (Downtown, just to clarify)

I love the downtown one.
The sun was nice, I'll have to get out by the lake a bit later. The guys fishing was funny to me because they were 10' from shore and the boats.
Beautiful photos Al. Mostly A shots, I'd say.
Al - fantastic A shots! I do love the sunset photos especially, including that one with the robin silhouetted. LOL
I took a walk around the hotel parking lot this morning......nothing to report of any interest. I'd be grateful if you would say prayers please for a safe flight this afternoon. My DH gets so nervous about flying, and we are crossing our fingers that Molly makes the weight limit to fly with us in the cabin. If she doesn't, we'll be driving up after all!
Happy Day everyone!!
Dog is spoiled now as it turned out to be nicer that planned so he got another walk. Went to a part of the city(s) that was once called Dog Town appropriately enough.
Out on the frozen river
Plenty of open water though
Could walk out to this island in the summer if you wanted to - I prefer to stay out of that water.
Gators?
Nah - It has like 4 paper mills a 1/4 mile upstream from there.
That reminds me of a funny story I heard that happened near my parents house - a hippo escaped from a game farm and went in to a trout creek and surprised a fisherman.LOL
That would be quite a shock!
Well, this shot from today's walk may be a bit out of the ordinary from my usual walk scenes of ibis's and hawks and palm trees.........LOL
OK - let's get walking again, people!! If I could walk in the snow when we were in New England, I'm waiting to see hear/see some walking talk from some other DGers as well!!
Now that we're back in Fla., here are the latest views of the River in the early morning......always changing, always new critters to watch.....
and here is a lovely bouganvillea that was overhanging the sidewalk yesterday......such a pretty flower......
hehe...sorry, I'm with you in spirit on your walks, but it's currently -16, I ain't walking anywhere except to the kitchen for more coffee!!!
3G, I hear ya! Way to cold, wind is really howling now making the temps plunge!
Actually, I am on board with that here too! I won't be doing much walking in the morning.....way too cold for me.......and it's only going to be 22! 16 degrees and howling winds are good enough excuses for me!! Stay in, Stay warm and cozy......I'll take you both with me vicariously when it's "walkable" again in a couple of days.
i was hearing worrisome things about the orange crop in FL on NPR tonight, with the extreme lows - something about 4 hours below a certain temperature would damage the actual trees, not just the fruit?
That's right, Amy. It was really touch and go for awhile, but the growers lucked out with the dew point being so low that frost was avoided. I lost a couple of plants that I forgot to cover, but so far the ones I covered are looking ok - for the most part. The wind chill made the effective temps in the teens. Very cold and windy and it would have been very expensive for us all if the farmers had not worked so hard to cover all their crops. It was interesting to see on the news.......they poured a lot of compost on top of the plants until they were buried. I brought many inside, including one of my tomatoes that we could carry.
Nice day here - up to 40.
Dog and I went on a walk.
Here he is by this GIANT cottonwood.

Leftovers from New Year's eve.
I like this photo, but truth be told he has a bad leg, and on further inspection there is something wrapped around it.
Sign we passed.
Interesting shots, Al! Gage is such a nice dog! I like the shot of him by the cottonwood tree.....That tree is really Big!!
This morning that big hawk (you know, Al, the "hummingbird hawk"...LOL) was right in the same spot where I posted him the first time when he looked so small.
Hi didn't like my taking a picture of him, so he flew to the top of the Norfolk pine.........
One unusual thing we've noticed about the height of the water in the River is that it has gone down several feet since the high winds of the freeze. Yesterday, the water line was way out, and this morning it had come back up some, but nowhere near the usual height that is just below the top of the seawall. There are lots of sharp clam shells and barnacles visible now. As a kid, I found out the hard way that you can't step on the bottom with bare feet if you want to have any feet left.
awww, your little hawk is growing up so fast.
I like your last pic.
I thought about applying for a job at this place, but too many rules.
wow. somehow the fact that they feel like they have to say that doesn't make me feel safer.
what kind of place is it?
Marriage counselor.
That's the same place that I took the pic of the security camera and it also had a sign about no cell phones or cameras so I like to bug them. They print books and games there.
Guess you have to make your shivs inside.
