For the next couple of days I'll just come and see what everyone posts.

Camera is already packed in DH's carry-on.

Lovely -- it will be a while before we see our lilies and day lilies.

That looks like an amaryllis! I had the same thought yesterday!

Beautiful, cerabella, c230k, and dileep!

 

I need to find something else besides birds to photograph:

Love the birds!

Not a fun drive to the mall on the other side of town - we'd forgotten about the construction going on.

We always have roads closed down for construction -- seems like they get one project partially done and they start another one.

Right. But they're generally necessary and worth it in the end. I used to work for our City Engineering Dept. (secretary) and was amazed at what it takes to do a project like this - especially the planning / money end of it.

We tax payers end up paying for it. :(

No -- No -- we have been to San Diego in the fog. One time we were to get on a ship and it never arrived until after 10 AM because of the fog.

We get off the ship on April 6 and fly home on the 7th -- I do not want any fog on the 7th as we do not have a direct flight. (There aren't any direct flights to Pittsburgh on any air line).

See you all in a few weeks as we leave for the airport hotel tomorrow to fly to Ft Lauderdale on Friday.

I was checking the Panama Canal webcam this morning to see of any cruise ships were going thru and found this guy sitting in front of the Gatun Lock camera. He stayed long enough for me to get 3 or 4 screenshots of him. Then he was gone.

Is this a Panama Canal cruise? The locals tell me that this fog is unusual for this time of the year. It usually happens in June. Yesterday morning the flights were a bit delayed. This morning was the worst fog this week.

I have a 6:30 am flight tomorrow morning!

Today it has been a quite special event here in Riga: The Remembrance day of the Latvian legionnaires.

 

This event is very controversial, and it is mostly Latvian nationalists supporting it.

The annual blooming of the hydroponically grown bulbs always inspires me to drag out the camera and play with light.
