Don, O dear. Sorry to hear about you both being sick. I bet you need a lot of rest to recover from your adventure. As they say, "you ain't as young as...." , oh, you know the rest.
Finding 25 new birds had to be exciting for you. WOW! I know how much you like birding. I am looking forward to seeing those. And this photo you posted this morning is very interesting, fuzzy leaves! I have never seen anything like that before. Mother nature as a purpose in her design for everything, I wonder what the fuzzy elements do for the plant, maybe warm the leaves from frigid temps or collect moisture in arid regions, who knows?
Wait, I know a botanist who will know. Where's Peter?
Calling Peter.
So, here is something totally unrelated.
This is the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse.
The Fort Gratiot Light, the first lighthouse in the state of Michigan (well, I did not know that!), was constructed north of Fort Gratiot in 1829 by Lucius Lyon, who later became one of Michigan's first U.S. Senators. It is the OLDEST surviving lighthouse in Michigan standing guard over one of the busiest waterways in the world.
Have a good day.
LORELL
PS. I could not decide if the lighthouse should be perfectly vertical or the horizon be perfectly horizontal. Since the lighthouse is the dominating figure, I chose the lighthouse.
