flats are a couple of miles in either direction, quahogs, sea clams, razor clams, and oyster farmer grants. My clamming days are over, let the young'uns do the gathering these days.
Though it may look like a CGI animation, this gif of the Moon transiting Earth is very real. And what's even more incredible is the side of the Moon that's visible in the imagery. Taken in 2015 by a camera aboard NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite, it shows the elusive “dark side” of the Moon.
Saw one of those yesterday. Don't get many around here. Impressive bird.

Spent several hours this morning at this tranquil little place…rather enjoyed it
Very nice, Rusty. I'm sure those pictures, gorgeous as they are, can't do justice to being there and soaking it in.
