The bridge crosses over an environmental hazard on the 5th hole located at Heritage Shores Golf Club in Bridgeville DE.  I think it’s the 5th hole. The 9-hole women’s group name the hazard, The Beast” because of the difficulty in getting a shot over it.



When Autumn Leaves Begin To Fall

Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

(Instrumental for 1 minute)

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

When to Hold’em ..When To Fold’em

Yours truly gets to play on a golf cart path bridge which saw about 2 inches of water on its deck, during some flooding a short time ago.  I needed something/someone to show the size of the bridge and realized my wife would resist walking in the water to be my model(size reference object).  So instead of self-inflicted grief  by explaining, suggesting, asking, requesting, and finally just begging my wife(why I needed it done), I decided to do it myself.  I gave her my camera and rolled up my pant legs.

The short story above is similar to a song by Kenny Rogers called The Gambler.  According to wikipedia.com, the song is often characterized as a metaphor for life in that you need to know when to stand your ground (when to hold ‘em) and when to retreat (when to fold ‘em).

I like the fruit/flower on this tree.  It would be nice if I knew what plant this was, so you tell me.



Truth And Logic Permeates My Soul

It’s fall already, too soon.

I saw a blemish on the large red leaf above. At first, I felt the urge to remove it in Adobe Photoshop, an image editing program.  This blog isn’t always an exercise in photojournalism, so image alterations are within its bounds.  But I said to myself  “Cloth, falling leaves are deteriorating leaves”.

Truth and logic just permeates my soul:)
