A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray . . .

On this day in May 2016
Today I am going to take the archives - the first few years of the minutes through 1990 - of the Tuesday Book Club to the library, so they can become part of Wilmington history. Since I am secretary (by rotation) this year, it is upon me to have them in my possession.
The current members have talked about their importance. One woman feels they are interesting for women's history. Last meeting we decided to take action. The local history librarian was called, and she said she will definitely take them. They will be better off there than with me.
Some of the women in the Book Club were prominent in their own right. Some were the wives of movers and shakers, and information about them may be searched for at some time.
Whatever, the minutes reflect a tad bit of what life was like through the years.
I am posting a picture of the minutes of the first meeting. Now I feel it is an honor to be a member.

A New Place in May 2016
On this day, I decided to drive about four miles down River Road to the park and fishing pier, another place that I had not been to. The drive was interesting because there is so much change going on. A huge development is in the works along the Cape Fear. About 50K new people are expected to move here within the next few years! I chose this pic to post because of the many pelicans along the railing of the neighboring pier and how they were curious about the guy in the boat.

An Evening Last Week
This was one of those days that I didn't even get outside. Too much to do inside.
So I am "cheating" and posting a picture I took last week at the beach. It has been messed with as you can tell, but that is what photographers do now.

An Unusual Park in May 2016
Last year I challenged myself to take and post a photo each day in May. This year I decided to do the same.
Just today I heard about a carnivorous plants garden only 3-4 miles from my house, and I had to go. I wanted especially to see a Venus Fly Trap, Wilmington's unique native plant, because I haven't seen one since being here.
After parking my car, I took the winding walkway around to the low lying, damp garden area and soon spied the pitcher plants. Then I just followed the stone path to see it all. It was really a treat to be able to go.
Here are some pics. (I have more!) I am not sure of the names.
Due to "technical difficulties," I will have to put the fly traps on another post.
