NOW March 1, 2019

Now that electricity Internet are both pretty stable, I've been making up for lost time with photography. Taking the Coda Bear for our walks every day means I'm spending more time out. Since we moved across town we're exploring different beaches and different walks and different photo opportunities. At the same time, I'm learning new post-processing skills. So you are going to see some new - and for me - experimental work. Hope you like it.

He's a Lab! Of course he likes water.

So to close out the month and start a new one:

The sharp edge of the endless restless sea

Along the coast there are places where the edges of the limestone up-lift that is Puerto Rico are visible. Millennia ago sand was compacted in to rock. That rock, once exposed by the up-lift, was eroded by wind and sand into jagged sharp-edged alien-world looking formations called aeolianite. It is very cool stuff.

Egrets over the Sea of Dead Trees

When the storm surge from Hurricane Maria broke through and leveled some of the fragile coastal dunes, sea water poured into places sea water had not been for thousands of years. Much of the vegetation, like these mangrove trees, were killed by the salt water. There are several patches like this along the coast. This one is near one of the trails Coda and I take on some of our walks. I call this one the Sea of Dead Trees.

Is there water on Mars? 

Appropriate for the first of March to speculate about Mars. This is more of that alien landscape behind the rock. Waves crashing into and over the rocks erode water courses like these through the rock.

More tomorrow. Hope you like them.
