Social distancing....on the water


ORMOND BEACH, FL - - There's still a bit of boat traffic on the Intercoastal Waterway, which in our area is the Halifax River.  And, a couple of days ago when I shot these pics the river was displaying two different persona...depending on your point of reference.
     The sailboat in the top pic is seen from the top of the Granada Bridge.  The water looks murky.  Note the passenger sitting up front, left.
     About 20 minutes later the second photo is a view from the fishing / walking pier which wraps around the bottom of the bridge (land side).  A powerboat is following a catamaran under a blue sky and blue water.
     The greenery is on beach side with the boats heading North past part of OB and Ormond Beach Shores.

Getting up there

Yosemite NP's Burro Pass; Sierra Nevada Mtns; 11,100' up there
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Places we can only dream about now.  A fantastic hike and we could have kept going, but from Burro Pass on you'd need to camp or spend a helluva long time hiking back out.
     This was the Summer of 2008 and we were working in Yosemite...so we spent our days off heading as far away from the central area of the park and this is where we wound up on one such foray.
     It's nearly 12 years on and, at 77, I've slowed a good bit.  My mind says I could do it again, but my body says: "dream on."
     We're just hanging out now staying safe and socially distanced plus walking all around the neighborhood.
