Reprise: Breakwater, As A Water Structure, Costa Rica and Oxnard, California
|
|
|
|
As seen from the Parque Champagnat high up on the coastal cliffs of Lima Peru, a breakwater jutted out into the Pacific Ocean. A man stood atop one of the stone breakwaters that helped to protect the beaches and entry to the marina. That day was calm and warm. Signs that warned of danger intended to dissuade folks from walking on the breakwaters. But on such a placid day, there appeared little risk. People walked behind this breakwater and on the sand of the beach that these huge stones protected. This was just one side of the channel that led from the harbor and marina out to the Santa Barbara Channel and then to the Pacific Ocean.

Reprise: Animalblog Eagles, As A Form Of Bird
|
|
|
|
Bald Eagles are very numerous in Dutch Harbor, where they live year round. They are used to people and you see them perched on dumpsters and piers, looking for an easy meal. The African Fish Eagle is not a true fish eagle, rather it's actually a sea eagle. And yes, there are people for whom that fact matters.

2021 House Roof Removed, During Roof Replacement, Eugene, Oregon
|
|
|
|
A piece of the old moisture barrier flew off the roof in the wind. It left behind a party stripped roof. Packages of tiles were stacked atop the crown of the roof. That section of roof was covered with the new moisture barrier. The ladder used to access the roof was laid down next to our brush pile. It would be set up again when they returned to work on Monday. A man on the roof was one of two men stripping tiles and nails from the old roof. The old moisture barrier was underlayment of the old roof. Pieces of it fell from the roof onto a protective tarp below. Sadly some of the pieces landed on the patio and garden.

Denver (left) and Brandon (right) posed while seated on a log alongside a trail through Tilden Park. Their dog Dexter gazed off to the side. From left to right, Diane, David (her husband), David (George's friend), and George walked through a parking lot at mid-day. They strode as if in the final credits of an adventure film. Terry with Gypsy, and Debi with Harlow, sat on either end of the entrance sign for "Ski Island South Campground, National Recreation Area." It was a pleasantly warm day for the dogs to enjoy the forest. David Hertz spoke to Angela while seated at San Francisco's Sausage Factory in the Castro. This moment was captured just before the pizza arrived.

Dieter smiled as he showed off his next present, a pound of Peet's Coffee. Next to Dieter, Westley displayed his blue tongue. A closer view of the cake with its four candles. This arrangement of candles either mean Dieter was 37 or 3,511 years old. Dieter smiled as he read his first birthday card. It was a funny card that he read aloud for the amusement of everyone. Denver was about to set the cake down in front of Dieter. Dieter observed the cake being sliced and served with ice cream. Dieter's first present was a grey hoodie. Dieter smiled as his slice of cake was set before him on the dining room table. Westley helped Dieter open presents. Here, Westley was about to pull off the ribbon.
