Biking, Seneca Lake NY

My son...
Enjoying the view 

after riding from Kueka Lake 

to Seneca Lake in New York.

PS.

Woo-hoo! 

I have my new computer 

and I love it! 

But since I switched to a Mac from a PC 

I still have to update all of my software.

PC Blues...Again.

I am singing the PC Blues...

My PC died and there does not seem to be 

another resurrection in store for it.

So, I have no photo for you today.

They are all trapped on my camera card

with no place to go. 

I guess I will be PC shopping...

or maybe hubby will even spring for a Mac

and chase my blues away. 

Link up your blues...hopefully,

next week I will have a new computer.

Blues in Ambler

Walking the streets of Ambler 

the other night, 

I found some blues

waiting for me!

I am away this week and decided to leave the computer at home!

I will catch up with all of you when I am home.

Thanks for stopping by.

Engaged

Send me on a week of vacation...

and when I come home I can't remember the day.

So Midweek Blues is late.  (Blush.)

A couple weeks ago
I told you my daughter had become engaged.
So we took some time
at the beach to get some
Engagement Photos.

The Wetlands Institute, Stone Harbor NJ

The Wetlands Institute is located on Stone Harbor Blvd.

leading to the island on which Stone Harbor is located.

I stopped in with my mother in law and her friend Helen,

 both of whom are quilters.

The idea was to see the quilt that the 

area quilters made and donated to the Institute for fundraising.

These industrious ladies make a new quilt each year
which is auctioned off in September at the Institute's
annual Wings 'N Water Festival.

The Institute is appropriately located along the wetlands

where the wildlife there can be viewed and studied.

Here is an Osprey nest with both parents and one fledgling present.

The institute's mission is to educate the public about
 the wetlands and coastal ecosystems through
lectures, classes and hands on experiences.

They also offer internships for up and coming scientists as well.
The main area of study here is
the Diamondback Terrapin.

These turtles face a host of threats
created by our modern ways.



You can visit the Institute too -
it is hopping with activity on a summer day.
