Granddaughter Maura (15) sent me these two views she photographed on the way home from swim practice. She was a passenger not the driver – yet.
Clouds covering the moon and the moon showing itself. The moon on the right almost lines up with the street light pole.
I like that she took the pics and shared them with me. We both see the moon in the night sky even though we are two hundred miles apart.
The Healing Chapel Smallest Church in Ohio blogged last January. Drove through Coolville again today so stopped by. This time got out and went inside. Steve found it interesting, too.
James picked me up at the airport. On our way back to the house, James not only spotted this tire cover but he called it accurately. CROCHET! I’m so proud. He can distinguish crochet from knitting!
He pulled right behind so I could get a pic. Blurred out the license plate. Thanks James
So I found Step-by-step tire cover patterns online at Craftmumship
And hand crafted tire covers for sale on Etsy
Who knew?
Laura was driving Roy and me to Story time at the Westerville library. Yes, I was a passenger for a change. I saw the red corvette emblazoned with State Highway Patrol Laura with her younger eyes read the smaller white lettering (which is blurry in photos and blurry to my eyes ) that the vehicle was seized due to multiple DUIs (Driving Under Influence).
Here’s an article about how the vehicle is used
You think about things.
Interstate Route 78 headed east to NYC. Usually you’d be zipping along, doing sixty-five.
The giant lighted sign said INCIDENT AHEAD! Stop-go-stop -stop! You try to not feel frustrated. You’re not getting anywhere fast. You’re stuck. Trying to get to the Holland Tunnel.
“The drive west along I-78 across New Jersey is one of the most exceptional highway geology tours of North America” geologycafe.com (I was driving East on 78 but the rocks looked the same on either side.)
Years ago I read about the Geology along Interstate 80 in an essay in The New Yorker , north of my route. I thought of that piece when I saw these rocks.
There are signs warning “Falling Rock”.
John McPhee, author of In Suspect Terrain one of four volumes now combined in Pulitzer Prize winning book Annals of the Former World writes “Human time, regarded in the perspective of geologic time, is much too thin to be observed: the mark invisible at the end of a ruler.”
“The interstate leaves the Newark Basin and enters the Highlands of the Reading Prong. The next fifteen miles includes some of the most complex geology in the region. The road crosses sections of folded and faulted Precambrian rock, early Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, and additional outlier patches of Newark Basin rocks. Near exit 7 the interstate climbs Musconetong Mountain then drops” From the Geologycafe.com
You can’t pull over, stop your car and get out of to take a photo on an interstate but you can roll down your window when you’re stopped. a
nd think about just how old these rocks are.
From the top floor of a hospital parking lot. Columbus, Ohio. Jack (12) texted me his photograph from this vantage point. You know it pleases me when a grandchild sees something, takes a photograph and sends it to me. I told him he is honing his eye. He asked me, is that good? Yes, it is.
An overcast sky, rainy drizzle and/ or gray foggy mist can enhance the colors.
My granddaughter Anna texted, “Doesn’t look too safe” with these three photos she took on Friday.
Seriously unsafe.
You might remember Anna’s guest blog of pick up full of mannequin legs and another of a driver brushing his teeth.
I can see her taking the photo in the side mirror reflection.
Thanks for being the guest blogger today.
