Meadow Brook Pond

Went out to Meadow Brook Pond in Richmond Rhode Island to sit by the waterSpider on a Leaf and at least feel cooler. Hot and humid again today.

Here are some pictures from today.

Still waiting word...

No news, yet, on when the truck will arrive.

Overcast day, perfect for doing nothing.

I did take my camera apart and gave it a thorough cleaning. My excitement for the day.

Meeting with Friends

Had to be out of the house for a couple of hours today. My friend, Rick, picked me up and we went to the Bluebird Cafe for breakfast. Good food, social distancing and masks worn by all.

We then went to check on a car repair for a friend of Rick's, not ready. Drove out to the beach to deliver the news.

Spent some time at the beach near the Pt. Judith Lighthouse. After that we searched for some bird on the rivers nearby. Where are all the birds?

Later, my friend, Sheila called and we went out to Ninigret Park and Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge. We took a long walk and chatted while searching for birds. Came across Swans, Osprey and Herons, though they were a bit distant and the fog was coming in.

Headed into town to get a Del's Frozen Lemonade, then came home for the evening.

Update: the Pet Carrier has been repaired, doesn't do us any good. Still waiting for the moving van to get fixed .

Picnic Lunch at the Beach

Today, my sister and I, went to Crazy Burger and ordered take-out. We went to the beach, in Narragansett, where we met our friend, Sandy and her 8 month old daughter, for lunch.

We were sitting in the shade chatting after lunch, when we heard the distinctive sound of an Ice Cream Truck. I got everyone's order and took off to get our treat.

Called my friend, Rick, to arrange to meet for breakfast, as, we have to vacate the house for an inspection.

I, did a load of laundry, finished a book and worked on the computer the rest of the day.

As the sun was setting, I, once again headed out to Worden Pond to see up for the Neowise Comet. It was a beautiful, clear night and the comet shined bright. Except, you have to hav binoculars to find it. Fortunately, from previous night viewings, I was able to find it quickly.

Some shots from our picnic

The Clouds Parted

Today, again, was hot and humid, just hung around attempting to remain cool.

Worked on the internet and read for most of the day.

Went out to the Worden Pond, public boat ramp, after dark to catch the Neowise Comet. There were clouds on the horizon and it looked as though it was going to be another night with no pictures.

I stayed out and then the clouds parted. I was able to get a couple of pictures. Tonight, I will again attempt to get some more.

Cloudy Again

Went out, again, found the perfect spot to photography the comet, unfortunately, the clouds covered the horizon blocking the view.

Still awaiting word on the repairs to the truck. They were supposed to get the part Saturday and install it today. Fingers crossed.

Hot and muggy, so just kicked around the house.

Bacon wrapped scallops for dinner, yum.

This is "Lola" my sister's beagle.

Another Attempt to Photograph the Comet

Went out tonight in another attempt to photograph the comet. Beautiful clear skies, except on the horizon right below the Big Dipper. I stayed out hoping the the clouds would part, for even, an instant. They didn't and so looking around I took a few night shots.

The day was hot and muggy, so we started by going to the corner lemonade stand for a drink and a cookie.

Later, we ran into town pick up a few item. We were able to get in and out pretty quickly for a Saturday. the beach traffic had not yet fully developed for the day.

Using a 10 second exposure I took this picture of the Turf Farm being watered at night.

Farmhouse lights through the trees made an interesting capture.
