That's certainly a lot of contrails! They really make for a good sunset. Are those flowers Apple blossoms?

They're wild apple blossoms.

Well, the azaleas along the back driveway of our house have bloomed in their multi-color beauty - these seem to be our 'early' bloomers (plenty of others still budding and about to bloom) - I'm amazed that these bushes where present when we bought this house in 1977 and still look gorgeous this time of the year - we lost some dogwoods in the front yard (which I've shown before) in an ivy island but already have our yard service drawing up a replacement plan - will remove the ivy and add some flowering bushes/shrubs, SO maybe a post next year - Dave

Fist try, hope it works. This is my Cape Dory cutter "ORION" in St. George's harbor, Bermuda. I arrived after eight days at sea.....alone.

This was taken at sea last summer. I'm about 350 nautical miles north of Bermuda.

A pod of porpoises is showing me the way to Bermuda.

Have you ever thought of some really long distance trips, like sailing to Europe?

Nice pics - thanks! My BIL has a number of boats, including a sailboat similar to yours in size - he practiced medicine in Mobile, AL but returned to Montauk, LI to care for his elderly mother (who passed away last year) - he sailed his boat alone from Mobile, around Florida, and up the entire East Coast (of course, not open sea but the Intracoastal Waterways) to Montauk (see attached map) - was quite a trip for him.

From last night's walk

The following photos were taken from a small island in Sandgrube, one of the ponds in Apetlon. I didn't take a tripod with me, that's why they are pretty dark. That's the best I could get.

Bus (my village as destination), with lights from Akaziengasse in the background, reflected by Sandgrube

It look like I saw the same tractor twice today. From my living room:

At noon
During my walk:

In the evening

Blossoms, again

Our farmers fields are nowhere near ready for any work with the tractor. The grass is just starting to show traces of growth and the weeds are coming up just fine.

Our tulips haven't started to come up yet. It shouldn't be too long, though.
