Wednesday Image Search – Eau

Posted on February 7, 2024 by vanbraman

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Last week I started a new sequence. There are multiple ”*au’ combinations that will not find enough images. I already had to skip ‘aau’ and ‘bau’ in this ‘*au” sequence. This week I will search for ‘eau’ as I was able to find the usual five images.

What images will I find?

Falling Beauty Waterfall, Richland Creek Wilderness Area, Arkansas, Scenic WaterfallThe first image is of a beautiful waterfall scene. This was taken by my brother at Richland Creek Wilderness Area in Northwest Arkansas.

fall, leaves, leaves on sidewalk,, red leaves, autumnThe next image is of a cluster of beautiful leaves on a sidewalk during the fall.

A Beautiful Mind, John Nash, MathamaticsHere is the cover of a book that I really enjoyed. A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nassar tells the story of John Nash and you may know that there is a movie based on this book. I really enjoyed both the book and the movie.

Central Valley Cloudscape, Artistic Pictures, Landscapes, CloudsHere we have a beautiful cloudscape in the Central Valley of California.

Texas Confederate Dollar, Treasurey Warrant, Civil WarThe last image is of a Treasury Warrant from the State of Texas. This was a clipping from a magazine section that was saved in one of my Grandma’s Scrapbooks. See: Southern Currency

I misspelled the title of the picture back when I wrote the post, which is why it showed up in the search. If not, it would have just been a ‘beautiful’ post.

There were only a few ‘eau’ images to choose from. I hope you enjoyed my choices.

Which of these do you like best?

What should I search for next? I will probably just continue on with this new sequence.

Oak Island – No Caissons this Year

Posted on February 6, 2024 by vanbraman

The Curse of Oak Island season 11 continues with the finding of more interesting items.

They have not been able to definitively identify targets for the caissons, so will wait for next year. Instead they will concentrate on the Garden Shaft.

It is interesting that they are talking about a next year.

They showed progress in the Garden Shaft as they have extended it almost to the depth they are looking to reach.

They also started to find some large pottery fragments with Chinese patterns. Perhaps objects used to serve tea. The fragments are from different time periods and origins, which make them interesting.

The coin was a large penny from the mid-1700’s in England, which means that it could be from before the discovery of the Money Pit.

They went and visited an expert to learn more about the beads. The beads are pulled glass beads from Venice, and date back to between 1500 and 1650. The beads would have been used for trade in the colonies and would have been of quite a bit of value.

Near the end of the episode they showed them drilling deeper below the bottom of the Garden Shaft. They ran into some wood and they recovered a sample to send off for C14 dating. Did they just find the tunnel that runs toward the Baby Blob?

In the preview for next week they showed them finding a large stone in the swamp. They also brought up a metal piece from the core drilling program which looks to be of great interest.

What did they find?

Some interesting developments this week as they continue to hunt for the slippery treasure.
