Many things going on, but not much to say...

Life has once again gotten in the way of blogging, and of taking pictures.  Stuff happens.  This will just let you know that I'm still alive and well, if not a prolific writer!  Hopefully May will treat us better than April has...

My most exciting development happened about 8:30 AM a couple of weeks ago.   I was working on one of our cars in the driveway.  A group of about 5 ladies from the development, out for their morning walk, passed by.  We chatted briefly.  Their response to my comment that "everyone's out early for your morning walk" was "Everyone except you - why don't you join us." I thanked them and said if I could get moving early every morning, I'd like to.

But I haven't seen them again, to find out where they gather each morning, and how often...it might be fun.  Since the better half isn't an early bird, she won't mind...as long as I walk with her later in the day.  Which I would...

A quick shot of my acrylic nails...

From my archives, more "ferroequinology"... for those who enjoy geared steam locomotives in operation.   Cass Scenic Railroad, 8/23/93. Smell that delicious coal smoke in the summer heat!

And for those not accustomed to seeing nighttime pictures of Washington, DC:

These two were taken in March of 2007, on an after-dark tour of the city, well before the earthquake which caused those much-publicized cracks in the Washington Monument and other historic buildings.  A half-moon and many reflections allude to the the night's quiet stillness, while still showing the 24/7 beauty of our nation's capital.

Till next time, enjoy!
