Photo Hunt…hanging

That’s my backpack…hanging from the tree so that the “micro bears” (chipmonks) won’t get into it.

It didn’t work

Photo Hunt - “What is it?”

Photo Scavenger Hunt…”Support”

The “Big Mac”…”Mighty Mac”…the Mackinac Bridge.

The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third longest suspension bridge in the world. In 1998, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan became the longest with a total suspension of 12,826 feet. The Great Belt Bridge in Halsskov-Sprogoe, Denmark, which also opened in 1998, is the second longest suspension bridge in the world with a total suspension of 8,921 feet. The Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere. The total length of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,372 feet. The length of the suspension bridge (including anchorages) is 8,614 feet. The length from cable bent pier to cable bent pier is 7,400 feet. Length of main span (between towers) is 3,800 feet. (…)

The height of the roadway at mid-span is approximately 200 feet above water level. The vertical clearance at normal temperature is 155 feet at the center of the main suspension span and 135 feet at the boundaries of the 3,000 ft. navigation channel.

All suspension bridges are designed to move to accommodate wind, change in temperature, and weight. It is possible that the deck at center span could move as much as 35 feet (east or west) due to high winds. This would only happen under severe wind conditions. The deck would not swing or “sway” but rather move slowly in one direction based on the force and direction of the wind. After the wind subsides, the weight of the vehicles crossing would slowly move it back into center position.

Photo Hunt: any photo…

Oh! the possibilities…

Photo Hunt: Time

Times change.

There was a time when this spot was empty. There will be a time when the spots around it will be filled.

Now it is time to go to sleep, Do not cry and do not weep, Far away may angels guide, Little child on heavenly ride, To kingdoms far away and then, To eternal kingdoms from within. -S.K. Lindeman

Zoey was returned home (to TN Chick of my weekly Photo Scavenger Hunt) safely!

(UPDATE:  the TN CHICK has lost her dog in an very urban area - Zoey has been gone for over 3 days now…)

(This sign appeared at our local zoo when “Precious” - our komodo dragon - came to live)
