Never mind that we were loading pool accessories into a pickup right next to it, this crane had things to do and places to go. They don’t really show much fear around here, and they are large enough to take on any likely challengers. The crane’s bearing is cool and confident, however, it does seemContinue reading “Just Passin’ Through”

Straw-buried
The strawberries are in season, so we went to Plant City, Florida, for our annual shortcake dessert. The strawberries were not quite fully ripened, however, so they lacked some of their usual great taste. Fortunately, the shortcake and ice cream made it better, and of course it did help that the berries were buried inContinue reading “Straw-buried”
Down the Hatch
All different colors on the outside, but the same on the inside, and they were delicious! Hope the hens didn’t mind. #eggs #hens #breakfast

Speaking of the Moon, its thin crescent shape will pass by the planets tonight, February 21, 2023, and tomorrow night. So if you wantContinue reading “Dusk Delight”
Gone Today, Here Tomorrow
The leaves are not yet done falling. Blow the leaves off the driveway today and more will come down tomorrow. Soon that will end followed by their seedy sequel. Pollen pods (aka tree testicles) will be the next thing to fall from the trees with their dastardly little pods and pollen all over the place,Continue reading “Gone Today, Here Tomorrow”

They look beautiful and appear to be ripe but none of the birds have eaten any, perhaps for good reason, so I don’t think we should either. #berries #birds #spring silvers pings
Fuzzy Wuzzy
An avian equivalent of a bad hair day. If the answer really is “blowing in the wind,” this bird must have really hated the question. #anhinga #wind #badhairday #bird
Ode to the Springs
We took a ride on a glass bottom boat At Silver Springs Park safely afloat And while we sat aboard to give the springs a peek We were happy that the boat did not spring a leak #silverriver #glassbottomboats #leak #silverspringsstatepark,
