Sweet Music and Feet

Don't even ask why I am posting these together, but they are nice photographs so I am posting them.

Jerry making sweet music!

My feet, for years I have photographed my own feet, I should do a whole page on the progression of my feet, only I don't think anyone would really be interested.

A Trip to the Wildlife Preserve

We took a trip to the Bowman Hill Wildlife Preserve and then went into Lambertville for dinner. It is late or early, however you look at it for the wildflowers, so this is the only blooming flower I found.

It was still a really wonderful day, and just look at these majestic trees!

This is Miakoda, actually a very pretty flower.

I love the way these leaves look.

We followed the trails, and there were mosquitos, but it was beautiful.

Tree roots.

Miakoda by the stream.

We had a really nice day.

Back home, and me acting (did I say "acting") silly.

Memorial Day

I hope everyone took the time to remember our men and women in the armed forces who gave of their time, comfort, and lives to defend our freedom. THANK YOU to all the fine men and women who gave us this precious gift.

Morning and Breakfast

I cannot believe that it has been this long since I have put anything on my blog, I'M SORRY!!!!!!

This morning I jumped (drug myself) out of bed and raced (stumbled) to the kitchen, with a short stop at the bathroom, and a quick jaunt outside for my dog, Nook. I looked around my neat (last nights pots were still in the sink) kitchen, and tried to decide whether to make the coffee or settle for tea (if I wait until someone else gets up, they will grind the beans and make the coffee), so I settled for tea.

My tea cupboard on a good morning. You can see I am so orgainized.

A drink of water and two aspirin for starters!

Okay, so it took me twenty minutes to decide which tea to have and by this time Kode has joined me and we'll wait for Ray to make the coffee.

Looking for something for breakfast, nah, I don't think so.

Yes!!!! This looks much better!

Coffee soon, Ray will be up, I just know it!!!!!

CARDIFF

We headed for Cardiff, but stopped along the way to view The Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion Wales.

According to legend of Devil's Bridge was built by the devil in an agreement with an old woman whose cow had wandered across the river and she couldn't get her back. The devil told her he would build a bridge for her and in return he could keep the first living thing that crossed the bridge. He told her to go home and come back the following day. The next day she took her dog and returned and was amazed to see a wonderful bridge across the river. She told the devil she remembered their bargain and started walking toward the bridge. Then she stopped, and took a loaf of bread out of her apron pocket and hurled it across the bridge. Quick as a flash, before the devil could stop it the dog ran across the bridge. The devil screeched, "you stupid old woman, your hairy old farm dog is the first living thing to cross the bridge, he is no good to me." The devil was never seen in Wales again as he was so embarrassed at being outwitted by and old lady. Near Aberystwyth there is a village where a very old bridge crosses a deep gorge. Above it are two other bridges built at later dates. But the lowest one...well, they say the devil built it himself.

The bridge is unusual in that three separate bridges cross the span, each one built upon the previous bridge. The most recent is an iron bridge (1901), which was built over a stone bridge (1753), which was built over the original bridge (1075-1200).

The bridge is at a point where the River Mynach drops 90 metres (300 ft) in 5 steps down a steep and narrow ravine before it meets the River Rheidol. The set of stone steps leading down to the lowest bridge at the waterfall are known as Jacob's Ladder. The river Mynach has carved beautiful, large pot holes into the rocks, called the Punchbowl.

Next we headed for Cardiff

Cardiff Bay (Mermaid Quay)

Seagulls resting on the docks. We were a stones throw from the Millennium Center, which I failed to photograph, duhhh..

This is the docks at night when all the seagulls find a place to nest for the night.

The next day we went to the Doctor Who Experience and it really was a fun experience.

The Doctors!

EXTERMINATE!!!
