A clear pool over a brown silty bottom surrounded by partially submerged water willows and gray granite boulders with a bare white fallen log in the foreground. A vast wet and dry smooth but uneven granite bolder which you can walk on with a pool shaded by willows. The bolder surface fills the whole picture because it is so large. A partially cloudy and blue sky is overhead. The green leaves of the willows in May are near and far. There is a far away bridge barely visible in the distance. A granite bolder surface with a round, spherical pothole that nearly fils the picture. There are dark pebbles in the bottom of the potholes and a rounded lighter rock there as well. There is one small four inch potholes on the lip of the larger pothole. These potholes are moist with but have no standing water.

Mosquito fish can survive in pools on the granite boulders with are not connected to any running water. They can eat the mosquito eggs and other insect larvae which other fish can’t get to. They have to somehow get back to the river when floods come.

Two rectangular ends of iron wedges in a hole in a granite rock.  The granite is flecked with red and dark greenish dirt. One square end of an iron wedge in a hole in a granite rock.  The granite is flecked with red and dark greenish dirt.

Granite stone cutters used to split the boulders in the James River with wedges and sledge hammers. Many were descended from enslaved African Americans. Now this area is the James River Park in Richmond.

Wide flat water slow flowing swamp perfectly reflects over hanging oaks and white sky that surrounds it.

The Assamoosick Swamp flows slowly down towards the Nottoway River near intersection with the Blackwater River where they become the Chowan.

Beautiful Green Forest filled with Hardwood trees and some Pines. An overgrown pine needle covered trail goes through it lined with low flowering deer-berry bushes and some ferns.

Prince Edward-Gallion State Forest is beautiful in full greenery.

The Bagley House in Blackstone, Virginia built in 1911 is transitional between Classic Revival and Queen Anne style architecture. You can now stay there as an AirBnB.

Robert Kennedy will make it more difficult to create Covid Vaccines to new variants. They will have start over from scratch in the process although their effectiveness has already been proven. This may take so long they they can’t be created in time.

Sounds good. Will have to listen to more. I remember, during the later hostage crisis in the 1970’s how 60 minutes showed that the Shah, the puppet dictator that we installed to get cheap oil, had chopped the arms off of the son of one of his political opponents and made the father watch.

Dec 2023 Putin travels to U A E and gets a warm welcome, trolls say this will help with Palestine. UAE then funds Gaza protests that focus on Biden, even though trump is worse. Trump wins, says he will forcibly remove all people from Gaza. But now that trump has won, there are no Gaza protests.

Actually the round one is a fossil and not a cross barred Venus. Shells of this genus don’t live north of Hatteras today.
