After the rains, the normally dry river bed gets an emerald carpet.



New River, in Glendale, AZ today.

I saw a bunch of these landing in Nanning yesterday. I had forgotten how tiny they are up close.

Here is a link to a wiki page for anyone who like fighters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengdu_J-7

The venerable Fishbed. Lots of them still around. IIRC, the US even bought some from China to use in aggressor training.

An Arizona flood.

Today, the river was a river. I pedaled across this river yesterday, but the water is still coming down from the north today. It has been an exceptionally wet winter.

Know what these are?



Cargo ships at anchor.

We have an anchorage about 10 miles long X 2 miles wide and about a mile from shore right in front of our beach. It is set aside for ships waiting to get into the busy port of Norfolk, VA.

Not exactly thrilled with a bunch of cargo ships interfering with the view but the US Navy has laid claim to another nearby anchorage for amphibious assault practice and well, they have the guns so.................

BTW, we have Mr. Trump to thank for this recent development because those are COAL SHIPS. Usually there are two to four of them out there but starting a month ago the number has slowly increased to where there are now at least a dozen at any one time.

I know, I know, this is 1st world problem. Unless some of the crew decide to swim ashore. We've got a very pro-2nd community so it could end up looking like "Normandy Part Deux".

A pair of these unidentified birds have appeared here every spring for the last 3 years--and only the one pair. I do not know what they are.


Here's one of them from last spring having a few words with noisy Mr Squirrel.


And another sure sign of Spring here. The swallows have returned. In past years, they have built one or 2 of their mud nests under the eaves near the very peak of the house, and have done so again this Spring, but I noticed this morning, a pair has also began building a nest under the ceiling of my back porch. I will probably remove this nest, as they do tend to make a mess. I do enjoy watching their acrobatics every morning and evening tho.
