January 6th, 2025We’ve Lost Former President Jimmy Carter
December 29th, 2024
It was sad to hear former USA President Jimmy Carter passed. He was 100 years old and continued his humanitarian work almost up to the end.
After leaving the White House he started the Carter Center which monitored elections, made efforts at peacemaking, and humanitarian work around the world. The above picture was taken in 2002 when Carter met Castro in Cuba.
While still president, President Obama went to Cuba in 2016 trying to re-kindle a relationship with a county only 90 miles from Florida. Maybe Carter inspired him. Presidents Trump and Biden had other plans.
Right now, I reading one of Carter’s many books. This is called Palestine, Peace, not Apartheid. I got the book off Amazon.com if you care to read his take on the Israeli/Palestinian situation. It’s seems even-handed and an honest explanation of what’s goes on there even today.
Jimmy Carter has been one of my favorite US presidents
Monkey Ducks And Mussel Shells
December 12th, 2024
A friend of mine, Jim Carlucci took a picture of shells I posted a few posts earlier. He told me the pod mussel shells looked a little lonely so he added some company. I could only laugh once I saw the newly populated image.
Jim lives in the same retirement community as me. He’s not only a member of our small camera club, a great DJ, but also a friend. Still, he has too much time on his hands. LOL!!!
Santa, that you?

This Santa was seen with golf club in hand. I guess that’s appropriate for a restaurant on a golf course.

It’s Nice Being Able To Fake It!
December 3rd, 2024
Now that I’m not employed as a photojournalist I can now stage some pictures. The above are for friends of mine who are exhibiting some photographs and painting in our community art gallery. I decided to help promote them using Facebook groups used by our residents. So instead of having them sitting on the bench staring at the camera, I thought a better picture might be them relating to each other.

A Clam Shell, Here?

We had drought conditions which affected water levels in ponds on the golf course. I decided to take a few pictures and while walking on an almost dry pond bed noticed something. It was a clam shell. There were others and I don’t know how they got there. Maybe someone ate clams and threw the shells in the pond.
THIS JUST IN: These could be fresh water pond mussels. After doing a little online research, these could be pond mussels.

Still Celebrating
November 9th, 2024
This merry group is still celebrating the win of their Presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump 2 day after the election. I saw them heading to the Rehoboth Art League to make a couple of prints. The Coastal Camera Club, which I’m a member, has a print studio on that art league campus.
So on the way home I couldn’t resist stopping and getting a closer look. Image was taken with my cellphone(a hand-me-down from wife). It was a friendly crowd hanging out on the main drag entering Rehoboth Beach waving flags and folks driving honking horns as they passed them.
