Foxhunting on the Chesapeake!


 A glorious day down by Dameron, Md.  In the distance across the waters at 12-15 miles are the tree tops of islands in the bay.  It will soon be winter, just two days.  Thoughts turn to Xmas.  Bald Eagles were calling and circling overhead in the distance, couldn't get close enough for a discernible photograph.  A good day to be alone with your thoughts.

Newtown

None have the courage and moral fortitude to act.

Nothing has disturbed me to this degree since the dreadful events of September 11, 2001.  There, at that instant, we knew who are enemy was.  It was something to work on, to deal with.  To avenge the innocent, to show to all concerned that this behavior was not to be tolerated, those guilty to be hunted down to the ends of the earth and to receive the maximum penalty we as a nation can deal out.  It is one thing to perform their cowardly and detestable acts against our military, it is another matter entirely to injure the innocent.  I still think of those poor souls trapped on the higher floors of the World Trade Center knowing help will not come.

You question your faith.  How could a loving and merciful God let this happen to little lambs?  I hear nothing  but mumbo-jumbo from the various religious leaders on this.  Nothing.

Ingleside on a Foggy December Morning.


 A fine turn out for the joint meet with Commonwealth Foxhounds down by Oak Grove.  A chill in the air, but spirits were high.  Long driveway gave for dramatic camera shots.
