Lost Underwater Lion City: Rediscovery of China’s ‘Atlantis’
Qiandao Lake is a man-made lake located in Chun’an County, China, where archeologists have discovered in 2001 ruins of an underwater city. The city is at a depth of 26-40 meters and was named “Lion City”. There would have been 290 000 people living in this city during more than 1300 years. Touristic expeditions are projected.

I love his little fangles.
Newton yawns too.
Back tweaking more than a small bit – I suspect the weather is primarily to blame. Snowed last night, was in mid 60’s today, back to the 30s tonight.
Via neighbors instagram. Snow folks up the road.
Got a long overdue haircut today.

Saw a barred owl this afternoon, on the way home from the post office. Beautiful, only for a moment. Bigger than I would have thought.
Knitting circle with Nancy at Cox Art center, though only a bit of actual knitting got done. Pleasant chatting with her and Sally along with Allison, of course. Allison finished blocking her mom’s birthday shawl. Looks a bit like batman logo tacked up.
Orange and purple socks started are looking good. She’s a superb knitter.
Supper at Mexico was delicious, as usual. Watched a bit of shameless (UK version) before bed… show hits a lot of buttons.
Socks are coming! (at North Beach)

The 17th Annual GBBC will be held Friday, February 14th through Monday, February 17th 2014
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of bird populations.
It’s free, fun, and easy. Each checklist submitted during the GBBC helps researchers at the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology learn more about how birds are doing, and how to protect them and the environment we share.
Join thousands of other birdwatchers of all ages, novices and experts and contribute to our knowledge of Birds.
GBBC participants are asked to count birds for as little as 15 minutes (or as long as they wish) on one or more days of the event and report their sightings online at www.birdcount.org.
I love her so much. I’m glad she’s my valentine. I’m a lucky boy.
From our honeymoon
indeed truly blessed.
Snow day. Snow, ice, sleet and rain. Also mother in law’s 70th birthday!
A few more pix from yesterday. The walk to L’enfant goes right through the sculpture garden.
