Twin Bridges

When I was a kid growing up in the little community of North East, I sometimes wondered why most everyone called this bridge on old route 7 leading out of town toward Charlestown 'Twin Bridges' for although I could easily see the two arches that supported the roadway that didn't seem sufficient to call it Twin Bridges.  Some really old fellow (about like me now) at the time told me it was because the original bridge was really two bridges meeting at an angle in the middle of the river where a large rock formation supported the junction.  I somewhat doubted this but stored it away in the recesses of my memories until years later in a photographic history of the county given to me by a good friend, I spotted a photo of that very set of 'twin bridges'.    Sometime soon I will photograph that photograph of a photograph and add it to this scene above to let you see the original 'Twin Bridges'.

Great Blue Heron Day

As the river opens up the Great Blue Heron are finding it easier to feed along the banks - and thus provide me some lovely photographs.  It's still cold but above freezing in the day and the freshly running North East Creek feeds relatively warmer water to the river giving larger and larger ice free stretches for all the water fowl to go about their natural rounds.

I can hear the water lapping along the kayak, smell that clean clean air, feel the breeze, I am home.
