We have had an occasional frost, but yesterday morning was the first time this season that the birdbaths were frozen over. A miserable crow landed on the birdbath only to find it covered with ice. I went out to literally “break the ice” as seen in the bottom photo, but by then the crow wasContinue reading “Ice”

Mild-mannered Mammals
Neither shy nor aggressive, these gentle creatures swim into warmer waters of Florida’s springs to survive the winter and feed on the sea grass in the outflow; a pleasant sight for their land-dwelling admirers. #manatees #homosassasprings #gentlegiants

In the course of cooling, the lava settled and wrinkled, as seen left of the photo’s center, like thick, chocolateContinue reading “Lunicus”
Gummies
At my age when the gummie kicks in, it has a whole different affect than the gummies that Jimmy sang about in his album Equal Strain on All Parts. #gummie #jimmybuffett #equalstrainonallparts

The days are very slowly getting longer and seem to be brighter, bright enough to entice this camellia into full bloom ahead of its budding siblings. #camellia #bloom #rush
Invitation
The trail winding through the Florida Greenway offered an invitation for our feet to wander through the woods. How could we possibly say no? #walk #woods #floridagreenway #invitation
