Bravo Joe - numerous outstanding photos with a fresh point of view - not easy to do around these parts.

Sincerely, Peter Hiller

Marbleized god of some sort = Dionysus to the ancient Greeks, Bacchus to the ancient Romans. To both he was the god of vineyards, winemaking...and wine-drinking thus the god associated with revelry (statue should be smiling). On his head he wears a wreath of grapes and grape leaves. Is that a cup he's holding? So no, he's not adding class to your neighborhood, he's adding debauchery!

Loved this. Do hope you can get your pester resupplied for Buster's sake. Thanks for compiling and sharing. Made my day this morning on the other side of the country.

I love this post, and would like to link to it in my next issue of A Crooked Mile. And I'll be sure to refer to this beach as "Buster Beach" whenever I mention it or post a photo of it. Although they are quite graceful in flight, I'll now always think of Pelicans as "Gooney Birds."
