A Battery of Coastal Defense Guns at the U.S. Navy Maritime Museum at Groton, Conn. These type of guns were mounted in forts near the mouth of almost all major ports or waterways throughout the East Coast from about 1830 until well after the Civil War. To give you a size reference, the girl in the picture is my daughter, who is exactly 5ft tall.

Hubby was helping a woman who has a studio and teaches art to kids. Yesterday was her first anniversary, and she had some entertainment. Along with a clown and face-painting, she had a guy come in with his lizards, python, etc etc. The kids loved them! I've never seen a turtle like this, and he loved to just wander around. He was often having to be "chased" and brought back to the tent.

A very wet woodpecker at the suet feeder yesterday. Waiting on "Kyle" to arrive today the birds are all over the feeders. Stay safe everyone.
