Mercer, Is that where that Galloping Gerdy (spelled right?) bridge was? The one that fell in? I think that was the late 30's or early 40's? The Golden Gate Bridge was built finished in 1937 and just went through a complete reto fit about 3 years ago. the salt air was doing a number on it. |

Well Chris they had to rework a lot of smaller parts, took rivets out and replace them with bolts and so on. I don't know all they done but they do keep it in good shape. Also they never stop painting, get to one end and start over I have been told it takes 7 years for one paint job. |

Mercer, Is that where that Galloping Gerdy (spelled right?) bridge was? The one that fell in? Tacoma Narrows Bridge (1940) - Galloping Gertie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge_(1940) Tacoma Narrows Bridge today. In 1998 they built a second bridge and added tolls of $5US to cross. Old one west bound and the new one east bound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge#Eastbound_bridge ... ![]() |

This happens at my house when it rains. I tried to prune this rosebush a little over a week ago but couldn't find my gardening shears. I guess it won't get pruned this year, again. This rosebush was here when I bought this house in 1994, so it's over 23 years old. Right now it's about eight feet tall. ![]() ~Sue~ ![]() |

Up to this last year I missed some great shots, I seem to never have my camera with me. No more I carry my Pentax or my Nikon and my Iphone. My Nephew is a big camera buff in New Mexico and he comes up with some great stuff also. He lives in Roswell but no pic's of UFO's yet. LOL |

It's a Jackdaw...I don't know if it's known by another name in other parts of the world.... They only live in Europe, western Asia and North Africa and thrive near people, they are very common in cities, and familiar guests at the outdoor cafes. |

It's a Jackdaw...I don't know if it's known by another name in other parts of the world.... It's apparently a "small member of the crow family." ~Sue~ ![]() |
