Chocowinity, NC

This trip we have chosen the coastal route north and are presently in the very small town of Chocowinity near Greenville. Enjoy the size of the park, altho flat there is quite a bit of walking available so that suits me just fine... A lot of pollen this year as you can see by photo! It pools up in water and lays like paint on the road. Never have experienced pollen like this year but it is lovely here too. Enjoying all the water here and so many turtles! Almost made a very small baby turtle a pet.. only about as big as a fifty cent piece and so light! Cutest little thing you ever did see with it's very tiny tail and little webbed feet! Darling... anyway, decided it would probably die if I took it so decided to leave here in this murky icky looking water! ha! We have had hot - mid 80's to low 60's all in a week and thunder storms to boot but overall very nice! Of course my allergies are playing havoc with me again but that is expected at this time of year...

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
