Hump day! Have a great day

I‘m spending most of the day at the hospital in Tyler while my Mother has neck surgery, but the one bright spot is that my favorite Uncle (Mother’s brother) is going to be there. At least I’ll have someone to visit with.

Not really a "scenic" shot on this one, but when I saw it, I thought I should post it and ask a question. We were told that this bird is one that spreads its wings to dry them out after plunging into the water for food. Can anyone remind me of the name of the bird that does that?

Ha! I just had an idea while sitting on the pot. I think the bird is known as a Cormorant.



Now for something a bit scenic. These pictures were taken when the wife and I took a lighthouse tour while we were working in Rhode Island earlier this year. This picture was taken in the Newport, RI area, and I was amazed at the size of some of the sailing vessels moored in the area. Sadly, our tour didn't take us close enough for me to actually get much in the way of pictures of them.

A Cormorant.

Sending prayer for your Mom’s surgery. Keep us updated when you can.

Good morning all,
Well the wife and I were off work yesterday due to be sicker than heck. Looks like we will be missing another day of work today. Was hoping it was just a 24 hour bug but no such luck. She thought it might be Covid because she felt the same way yesterday as she did when she had Covid. We tested and was both negative.
May just drive up to Grand to the lake house for a couple of days. Would rather be sick at the lake than sick here in the city. lol!
Have a great day.

No clickbait here. Feel free to open pic and rotate if on a computer. Handheld device you can appreciate the wide view that is captured in the photo.

First of all, prayers for your mother, and have a good visit with your uncle.

Now for the picture. This was taken along the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway going south from Spearfish, SD on Highway 14A. Wife and I had taken a vacation to Rapid City, SD to see Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, and more of the Black Hills. We also took a day trip to Devil's Tower in NE Wyoming and did Spearfish Canyon on our way back to Rapid City.

That's a bummer. Y'all get better quick!
