CB Bridge

I have been wanting to take a pic at the river from under/of the Snow's Cut Bridge, and here it is. While I was there, the new Fire Dept boat sped past. I wonder where it was going in such a hurry.

new toys

Just for kicks, I got an iMac during tax free weekend in South Carolina. Today it is up and running. My three-year-old camera had a problem, a "lens error," that couldn't be fixed by anyone I asked, so I ordered a new but refurbished one from Canon. Now all my hobby stuff is updated! I tested the camera at the beach last evening and at the sunset tonight. I love to take pictures. When I go somewhere with my camera, I wonder what may be waiting out there, and eventually I find something. Often birds. Sometimes I feel like I am a child on an Easter egg hunt. I think the one on top is a juvenile night heron.

My favorite local musician

This is Al who plays for us a lot of Fourth Fridays. He is from a family of musicians and is multi-skilled. It is a real treat to hear him.

a nice spot at WB

the current hobby

I must have about 25 of these so far.
Same place, but the sky is always different at sunset.

Something new I tried this week was curing salmon. I bought a small whole, wild Alaskan salmon and fileted it the best I could. Then, following a recipe, I covered it with equal parts sugar and kosher salt and a lot of fresh dill. A couple of days later it was preserved and ready for eating. It was not perfect, but it was edible. A little too tasty. I guess the best thing was using some in scrambled eggs. From what I read, it is Norwegian. Probably the men who fished the North Atlantic took it with them on their expeditions.
