Shadow Shot Sunday
On Shadow Shot Sundays, Tracy hosts the meme for us. Check out the fun shadows everyone has found.
A lot of people seemed to enjoy my pictures of some of the Victorian houses in Cape May last week. It was a little cloudy then, but the sun came out during the week, and I decided to do some more of them.
One of my favorite places in Cape May is the Chalfonte Hotel.
The architecture is varied. I thought this one was unusual.
Many of the houses sit very high to avoid flooding during storms.
I like this one a lot.
and finally, there is this one.
HAPPY EASTER to all who celebrate it!

A Busy Month
Today begins Poetry Month. Always a favorite of mine.
It is also, as most of us are aware, the month of Passover, and of Easter.
But it also begins National Autism Awareness Month. Autism is a muc
h misunderstood and often feared thing, experienced by many thousands of people. This should be a good time for us to read and talk and learn more about something that effects so many wonderful people among us. - Our friend, Linda, has a post today in which she refers to it as "Autism Acceptance Month" I like that so much better.

APRIL
The "April Puzzle" is not necessarily so easy as it looks. Try it, but change the cut and the number of pieces. I suggest the 87 piece "Crazy" cut.

Hot Pink Flamingos
Reading the information offered by the Monterey Bay Aquarium is always interesting and informative, and sometimes very sad. Today I read about Hot Pink Flamingos, the Changing Seas. More about the devastating effects of climate change.
It tells us about the Shishmarel community, native Alaskans, tribes of the Bering Strait, who voted to leave their ancestral island because it was literally dissolving beneath them.
It tells about the Carteret Islanders, who must do the same thing. They are the first climate refugees, but as the article states, they will not be the last. Can you imagine realizing that you have to pack up your things and leave the place where you were born, and your father and his father before you, and go in search of someplace safe to live? Here is a very short little video about these people.
Hot Pink Flamingos does list some practical things we can do to make a difference. Nothing new, really. Things we have all heard before, but most of us do not think about often.
