Monday, November 16, 2020

Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2005. That weekend we took Mattie to the National Geographic Museum. Ironically that was my first and last visit to that Museum. For no reason, other than it was a museum and adventure that reminded me of Mattie. Outside the Museum are wonderful bronze animal sculptures. As you see Mattie liked this ape! It still is one of my favorite photos. I can remember snapping this photo and trying to capture Mattie's big smile on camera.  

Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

• number of people diagnosed with the virus: 11,163,990
• number of people who died from the virus: 246,953

It was a busy day today. With one chore or task after the other. I am leaving for Los Angeles on Wednesday, and desperately trying to get work done. Midday, I took a break, and Sunny was thrilled to walk Roosevelt Island with me. I could walk Sunny near my home in DC, but frankly, the state of the city causes me to want to LEAVE and seek a retreat. The Island provides that for me. 

It was a lovely weather day and the deer were out all over the Island. I feel like I see these deer so often, that they should be used to us. 

Do you see the deer in the brush? This one was walking across the water during low tide to get from one side of the Island to another. This deer caught the attention of many humans on the boardwalk today. 

This duo I see often. Mom and baby! Do you see them? Mom is on the right and baby on the left!
