Geese snacking on the stream
A pair of canada geese meander along the southern end of the Cobbosseecontee stream in Maine last year
Beaver dam update
The initial dam on the primary stream feeding the local “beaver bog” looked like this a few months ago. The beavers have added several other dams both downstream and, more significantly, upstream. The dams upstream have created a much larger area of flooding.
The Titanic at Belfast
Along the harbor in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is this dramatic structure looming over the former shipyard where the H.M.S. Titanic was built. On the inside it is a museum, a tourist attraction complete with a roller coaster ride, and movie theatre.

The Stone Bridge
The trail through the woodland that makes up the Small-Burnham Conservation features the quite un-natural but simply built bridge.
Noank view
Looking at Morgan Point and Mouse Island in Noank, Connecticut; Plum island, New York, is visible on the horizon. Cormorants and gulls hang around on Seal rocks in the foreground.
