The Eagle Has Landed Watered
0
One of a series of photos from my brother in Virginia’s Northern Neck.
I must say that it never occurred to me that eagles might enjoy a dip from time to time.

My brother tells me that they use their wings to propel themselves through the water.
A Walk in the Garden 2
Yesterday, we went to the Norfolk’s Gardens by the Sea for the first time in quite a while. They are doing some construction, so parking is limited and a reservation is needed, not for a specific time, just for a “time window.” The weather was nice and cool and sunny, so we decided to tangle with the reservation system. Fortunately, it turned out to be easier than we had feared. It was a good time.
All I had was my cell phone, but I did catch a few shots that pleased me.

Norfolk’s Gardens by the Sea is currently running an exhibit of art made for detritus retrieved from the sea. The intent of the exhibit is to impress viewers with the extent, diversity, and permanence of the trash we so blithely discard.
Here are a few of the items.
