HAPPY EASTER

Angels and Mary Magdalene encounter Jesus at his tomb on Easter morning.

John 20:14 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

Happy Easter. I hope All of you are well.
Love Jerry*, Pam, Sean, Brianna, Ryan, & Opal (woof)

Spring in Southern California

The urbanscape of Southern California doesn't offer much in the sightings of wildlife or wilderness. But amongst the buildings, cars, and urban sprawl, one might chance a glimpse of denizens unique to cities everywhere. (See what you can spot in the picture to your left.)

(Picture of urbanscape by "Red" S____ .)


From its high perch, a noble and newly hatched Turbine style Roof Ventilator scans the crowded and cluttered urban sprawl. The smaller male Satellite Dish - in full display trying to lure the larger female Satellite Dish. Like the male Black Widow spider. After mating, the smaller male Satellite Dish must be very careful in order to escape from the larger female Satellite Dish.












.
(A closer view of the Turbine style Roof Ventilator.)

Southern California may not offer the snow capped mountains; stands of timber; and clear water streams of Alaska (Heather). But, wildlife still clings in the cities and urban areas of Southern California. You can still spot Impalas, Mustangs, and the occasional Jaguar.

Hark! I hear the cry of a wild Land Rover prowling the streets and by ways.
