Jim and Glenda's photos remind me of a kayaking trip I took to Mallows Bay along the Potomac River south of DC, where the remains of hundreds of ships lie just below the water line, emerging at low tide. There is one large steel wreck, shown here, and many other older vessels that are mostly reduced to wooden pieces and rusty bits. An aerial view shows the outlines of where the ships were. The story behind the wrecks is a fascinating story of a government plan gone wrong http://www.fossilguy.com/sites/potomac/mallow.htm

Murraysmom - I recently started to select favorite photos as desktop wallpaper. I have the photos on a 1 minute rotation, so I always have something interesting to look at. I would love to include the photo that you posted of your "little guys" a few weeks ago, if you don't mind. I can't locate the photo - both dogs are in the picture and I believe they are on a patio or porch. I remember commenting on the photo at the time, because I liked it so much and if you are able to post it again, I would really appreciate it!

The lady in the photo is none other than Lily Langtry. Many years ago I was shopping and saw the photo being used as just a stock photo in a picture frame that was for sale. I recognized the portrait right away as I had always admired the PBS production of "The Jersey Lily" and had researched Lily Langtry. Anyway, I asked the store clerk if I could have the paper (photo) inside the frame but not buy the frame. LOL He looked at me like I was crazy, and I tried to explain my excitement. He gave it to me! I took the "photo" to a framer and had it properly matted and framed. True story. murraysmom, I like that pic. What a sweet expression on the dog's face.

A few days ago at our house.
