#Building site

[newyorkthegoldenage]

New Yorkers love to peer through holes in the walls surrounding construction sites to watch the activity inside. In 1959 some contractor that was putting up a new office building came up with the idea of not only enlarging the holes, but providing 15 phones giving a running account of the work through a recorded message.

Protected by a wire fence, this is supposed to be a building site rather than a pond. There had been quite a bit of rain.

April 2024: Sunday Quest

In this post, I mentioned finding some irises growing wild & receiving a quest from my queen to retrieve seven. This is the tale...

It's always nice when something is where you left it... like my walking stick that I leave at this abandoned building site:

Hairy vetch in the wild:

The woods where the great blue herons roost:

Like any good adventure, there were side quests. The first was to locate an ear bud I had lost in this field the day before. It was not recovered:

But I did get to see a lot of crawfish chimneys:

The second side quest was to venture into the woods to see if I could spot some nesting herons.

Wood ducks. This is as close as they'd let me get:

This was the only great blue heron that I saw in the woods:

I finally got back on track & headed towards where the irises were located with a couple of distractions on the way:

Heading home with a backpack full of irises for my queen. From start to finish, the trek was 6.75 miles:

The well-earned reward - steak & peas with grilled peppers, onions & fruit:

Heute abend wird bedichtet

Was meine lumix hat belichtet.

Lieber bedichte ich eigentlich Schwäne

Heut aber eben mal Kräne...
