A delightfully full day of river traffic, including American Century!

Re: What to my wondering eyes..
The morning started with sunshine here but a band of rain moved in to the west and north of the river, and for 10-15 minutes there was a constant rumble of thunder -- something I learned to associate with severe weather when living in OK and KS -- and since I couldn't see the lightening, I played it safe and stayed in. When that cell moved out, others came more quietly, in waves with heavy rain, throughout the day.

The delightfully cool and less humid weather is about to change, with rain through tomorrow.

Even I was surprised at how much St. Clair River traffic I captured in a week's time! I'll not be at the river today but tomorrow begins a new month.

Since these were photographed fairly recently, I'll include the known destinations.

Re: What to my wondering eyes..
I'm back, with photos of recent activity on the St. Clair River. Have too many photos to post in one batch so will begin with Sunday, July 19th. and add more each day until I'm caught up.

Re: What to my wondering eyes..
Yesterday I felt the pull of the river and confidence that I have healed enough to (carefully choosing locations with flat surfaces and no loose stones) start "shooting ships" again. So I had a delightful morning capturing Algoma Buffalo down-bound about 20 minutes from Port Huron; Arthur M. Anderson up-bound below the BWB; Algonorth and Algonova at the lower Sarnia Dock; and Algoma Sault refueling at the Shell dock. Finished the day with Herbert C. Jackson and James R. Barker, up-bound at Marysville.
Transferred the photos to my computer and did the edits, but as I tried connecting to the Internet, the computer locked up and needs professional attention.
Until then, I'll keep adding shots and will post them on this thread ASAP.

A hot July 4th. weekend along the St. Clair River. I prefer my tree-shaded yard!

Thanks, Darryl. It's hard to get a "bad" shot of any of the fleet. Although I realize they are machines and not out for their beauty, I appreciate how GLF ships appear to be well maintained and are always photogenic.Darryl wrote:You got excellent shots of two I worked on back in the day: The Presque Isle, and the Republic. The PI photo looks like the framed photo of her that hung in THE SIU Hall in Duluth. When the Hall closed, I got the picture.

Slowly gaining smoother movement and stability so can enjoy spending a little more time with my camera, at the river.

The thoughts and well wishes of my thread followers are also good medicine!
Mother believed that when an injury began itching, it was a sign of healing. If she was right, this will be a very short inconvenience. I'm doing the exercises prescribed by my doctor and have had no need for pain meds. Due to a blood clot ('89) I do take an aspirin a day.
Oh, and the earlier gap in postings was for a different reason. Eventually, I'll submit the photos still on my camera.
Blessings to all of you!

So Sorry to hear of the incident with the small dog. Starting on June 23 til June 27, I asked myself everyday where is "What to my wondering eyes". You were missed! I sure hope you heal fast!
