Video of White heron Flying around Shellpot Creek

Finally caught video of a White Heron flying around our section of Shellpot Creek north of Wilmington, Delaware. I fell a little bad following it around to get the video because it finally flew onto the roof and then downstream to feed because of me.



Up on the roof of our house.

Hopefully it will come back some day when I am not around to bother it and eat some tasty fish in our section of the creek.

Dog vomit slime mold in the garden

My very own pet dog vomit slime mold appeared after the recent rains in the mulch in the garden.  Size 10 shoe added for Size comparison.

Asian Lilies make their debut

It is Asian Lily time in the garden again.  Here is a sampling of the many that are blooming.

The speed limit on Baynard Blvd between Shipley and Marsh is 30 miles per hour!

I don't even know how you can get going fast enough on Baynard Blvd to be unable to avoid a deer let alone kill it when you are unfortunate enough to hit it. The speed limit is 30 miles per hour.


In a separate incident a car skidded and crashed into the guardrail on the bridge over Shellpot Creek on Baynard Blvd. You can see the skidmarks coming out of the crash on the other side as well.

The real irony is that you can see the 30 mile per hour speed limit sign right at the accident spot. Lynn heard the crash after I had left at 5am for a business trip Wednesday two weeks ago and ran out hoping it wasn't me. She only saw a car's bumper left behind that was subsequently removed.

Sage is blooming

The sage is doing so well this year that it I'd blooming.  It looks like salvia.

I don't know if this changes it's taste or will have any affect on it's production.

Remembering Shuttle Launches

This week's shuttle launch reminds me that when I saw the launch (above) of the Space Shuttle Atlantis in February of 2008 we also saw Endeavor in the VAB being prepared for a March launch.  

I saw the launch one week and then the next week we toured Kennedy Space Center without the crazy crowds.

Foxhounds at Point to Point

The foxhounds are some of the most dog-looking dogs. There are like a fox hound archetype.
