it finally stopped raining - Thank you Donna! - so bundled up and went to my pond. Lots of geese, a few mallards and lots of ring- necked ducks and two hooded mergansers.
No partridge in a pear tree. ;-)

Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
Climbing up on solsbury hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice

Maryland, Susquehanna River.
Today's weather was rough. Cold, Windy and Windy and Cloudy and Cloudy.
This is the only image worth posting and I don't even like it. Too much noise. The light was dim. I shot at 400 ISO. I can forgive the white background but I just can't stand the noise.
This is a full frame uncropped image. Only the border was added. I resized from the original size of 3888x2592.

Sometimes words to songs stick around in our brains and then one day they pop to the forefront of our brains. This would be the true of this photo and song.

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting in your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit in pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tip of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from God's presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments."

Bright and early this morning Mary Mac was "yelling" at me to get up. So I did. She wanted food. No problem.
Today was designated as do stuff around the house day. I went to make the bed and there she was. Curled up sleeping.
This is after I asked if she was going to get up so i could make the bed. :-)
Of course I let her sleep.

This Osprey chick has been hanging around the marina for about a three weeks? It looks to be on the younger side give that the head is still more dark than light. Perhaps a late in the season hatch?
I had a good chat with it and told it to please move on as it's getting colder and it will be harder for it to fish.

he best thing that happened to me all day
It was bound to happen.... I was perched on a rock near water, got a txt message took my beloved Voyager out to read the txt. laid it beside me on the rock. Saw a boat with a dog coming in, turned ever so slightly to get the shot.
went to pick up phone to read text, yes.. you guessed it. It has slipped to it's watery grave.
:-(
I fished it out. I thought ah ah I have insurance on it. Went to local Verizon store. Oh so in order for me to take advantage of the insurance I've been paying I have to have a phone shipped to me? Right..... Ok I need a phone now so -- yes -- I am stupid.. I will pay the full price because I NEED a phone.
What??? You are counting this as an upgrade before my contract is over and charging me as such?
If I didn't need the phone I would have let them ship me the phone, and it just doesn't make GOOD sense that Verizon Wireless lets me pay insurance on my phone yet I can't use it in a Verizon WIRELESS store.
I will call and complain and nothing will happen.
It just doesn't MAKE GOOD SENSE Verizon....
So I am home now with my NEW Phone I PAID full price for.
