It does appear to float. With the storm surge we had the lagoon behind our house came up to the back steps and we had turtles swimming there. And the Ogeechee river came down our street and half covered our front lawn. Thankfully they both receded fairly quickly.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-81955522386555946282017-09-12T10:18:07.116+01:002017-09-12T10:18:07.116+01:00Cold and Very Wet , Ita.

I'm told there used to be a pub beside Ennerdale Water in the English Lake District where one could fish in the lake while still sitting in the bar. I don't remember that one, but I have been in a pub in Boulmer, Northumberland where bird-watchers set up their telescopes by the windows and watch the shore-birds from the warmth and comfort of the bar.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-17683529992754198232017-09-11T21:40:17.267+01:002017-09-11T21:40:17.267+01:00It is never too late to take up Mary all you need ...It is never too late to take up Mary all you need is a good camera and a steady hand.A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-72138118619648175552017-09-11T21:37:40.551+01:002017-09-11T21:37:40.551+01:00Me too Simon, thanks for commenting.Me too Simon, thanks for commenting.A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-284930664917278312017-09-11T21:35:25.121+01:002017-09-11T21:35:25.121+01:00Hello Jack !
