During this morning's walk I noticed the hydrant on the NE corner of Franklin and Redwood has finally been replaced. I wonder when the street lamp next to it will be replaced. Both items were snapped off flush with the sidewalk several months ago by a vehicle!
From the Pudding Creek Trestle the post eclipse moon settles into the west.
The weatherman has been promising us a sever storm for the last couple of days. Currently it is more like Hawaii! 55 degrees and puffy clouds.
For some reason I thought Tuesday was Wednesday this week and therefore the confusion about the total eclipse. So last evening, February 20th, I stepped out intime to catch this photo of the eclipse in progress. All in all not near as exciting as the photos I captured last August.
During my early morning walks I sometimes encounter a smell. This time of year it is usually wood smoke. At all times of the year I occasionally encounter the smell of someone's morning toke. This morning it was the smell of blossoms. I backed up and hunted down the culprit! Splendid!
Last evening was a total eclipse. It started at 7:00 PM and ended around 10:00 PM. Unfortunately the clouds arrived at 7:10 PM. What we would have seen would have looked like this but....
Fortunately I was awaken by the "post" eclipsed moon shining in my bedroom window at 5:20 AM. I decided to get up and see if I could get a photo of the moon setting over the Noyo Bridge. I did! But I was also able to capture that first photo which looks like an eclipsed moon but was actually the moon setting this morning with the atmosphere making it look reddish. Cool!!
Nice!
Another use for shopping carts!!
The location where the car came to rest is marked with florescent paint on the sidewalk. I'm sure we will be able to read all about it in this Thursday's Fort Bragg Advocate.
This "birds eye view" caught my interest while walking over the Noyo Bridge.
This also caught my eye. It concerns the land you see beyond this sign which is located near the intersection of Highway One and Highway 20. It proposes: ".... construction of 70 residential units, two office buildings, a 140-seat restaurant and a gas station/mini-mart".
Nice!
And finally..., the other morning I spotted this fishing boat out on the horizon with it's lights on.
In April of 2006 the Pomo Bluffs Park was opened. A nice addition to the city of Fort Bragg but here's the thing. The City is now making plans for a hiking trail along the coastal edge of the former mill site and I have heard there are plans for planting hundreds of plants and trees.
I look forward to the hiking trail, benches, restroom and signage but I think they should save their money when it comes to planting trees and shrubs. I walked out to Pomo Bluffs Park this morning to document what has happened to all the plants, shrubs and the drip system that was installed in this park just a couple years ago.
I only saw three plants still struggling to survive. All the rest were gone.
The benches, restroom, bike racks and trail are wonderful but the bushes and trees were a bust.
Can you see it?
