Photos from our back yard, late April 2019
Thanks for viewing, Comments are always welcome. Note: This is a REAL Squirrel, no actors are used, and zoom in for a closer look, …but good luck trying that! M 🙂
A few previously unpublished images from the archives – or – what to publish when you are a.) too busy, or b.) at wit’s end (end of wits?) to create anything else!

This journey traces our electrical power to its source – in three parts.
Disclaimer: Not being an electrical engineer or public utility employee, some values may be slightly different than stated, but should give a general idea of the actual grid and electrical generation. Any “system” or statistical corrections will be most appreciated.
With the exception of the I.P.Generator, the diagram and the uranium ore above, all photos in this series were taken by myself. General information, and those three photos are greatly apprieciatiated and obtained from various sources, including the internet. Additional information about this is available if requested.
As usual, thanks for viewing, and comments are always welcome. M:-)
Part Two: From the Wires in the Neighborhood, to Sub-Station Transformers.

This journey traces our electrical power to its source – in three parts.
Sandy and I often walk under two of these reclosure arrays in an area two blocks away from home known locally as “Doggie Triangle!” Two miles away, the three conductors emerge from a small sub-station, as seen below.
The next Part follows the link another 25 miles or so to the massive Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, the source, …where electricity is generated from the heat released from Uranium 235 fission.

This is a retrospective from a while back when our lives were enhanced by the simple tranquility of two cats in the yard!

From our smart-phones, tablets, computers and other such devices, we can now see and read anybody’s posts from around the world in virtually real time, including this. My awareness of the shape and size of our global home has been enhanced with this very inexpensive and seemingly infinite media, as local times and seasons are so varied.
Yesterday was the first day of Summer here in the US East Coast, but of course the first day of Winter along the Australian East Coast, where I follow several photo-bloggers. In Scandinavia, a few more whom I follow, are, or close to, experiencing the midnight sun.
Just about this date, a few years back, we were almost giddy while playing golf at 11:00 PM, with native jack-rabbits watching on a wonderful course just outside Denali National Park, Alaska. Of course the beverage provided by the eager and smiling grounds keeper had nothing to do with that, but, the uniqueness of just being there; the snow-capped mountains, the pale natural lighting, and playing with great NJ friends near midnight… did!
