Family came to visit us for the Christmas weekend including “Blue,” our favorite bunny. He has been a member of the family for the past couple of years and is always welcome at our house. He is very well behaved, his fur is soft and fluffy, and he loves petting. He was a sweet additionContinue reading “A “Blue” Christmas”

Joyful Blues
On our morning walk we saw a bluebird, much like this one, perched on a streetlight in the full sun. Its iridescent blue back was towards us at first, and as we admired its stunning color it turned part way to reveal its dark red chest and light belly as well. Perfectly posed to revealContinue reading “Joyful Blues”
Naughty Week
Poor Santa! Christmas is past and the new year has not yet begun. That means people can be naughty and not worry about finding a lump of coal in their stocking next Christmas, and there is nothing he can do about it. Maybe he should just enjoy the well earned rest. So enjoy this “NaughtyContinue reading “Naughty Week”
Freezin’s the Reason For Feedin’
Just a few days ago, birds were seen only occasionally at the feeders. The last couple of nights, however, the temperature dropped below freezing, and now the feeders are flocked by our feathered friends. Christmas morning the low was 21 degrees Fahrenheit, and I suspect the feeders will continue be a popular place for theContinue reading “Freezin’s the Reason For Feedin’”
Merry Christmas!
O Christmas Tree!
Season to Be Freezin’
No sympathy is expected from northerners, but we do get cold in Florida as well. A hard freeze is expected each of the next three nights. In an all out attempt to salvage our pineapple patch, we have covered the plants and placed lights under the cover. Will it work? Will know in a fewContinue reading “Season to Be Freezin’”
Tis the Season
And jolly we were as we took in the sights of holiday decorations during a recent evening walk through the neighborhood. It was a lovely way to celebrate the beginning of winter and the holiday season. We really do enjoy the decorations, the holly, the lights and sounds, but our favorite is the mistletoe. #ChristmasContinue reading “Tis the Season”
Santa, Frosty, and Jack
During a recent chilly morning walk we saw Santa, Frosty and Jack’s Frost. While we didn’t actually see Jack, he left his handiwork on the shivering shingles on the house nearby as well as on several others, and from the looks of the weather report, he is far from done. #santa #frostythesnowman #jackfrost
Reflecting on Sunset
The rain had passed and a glow in the west portended for better weather to come. The setting sun painted the blue clouds with a pink pastel that complimented the grape lights on the lanai. Meanwhile indoors, the Christmas tree cast its light upon the walls and both are reflected in the window of theContinue reading “Reflecting on Sunset”
Like a Bird on the Wing
Five years ago I took this photo of ibises perched on the water feature at my place of work. It was my last working holiday season. Time has really flown by since I quit my profession of 42 years. I have been asked if I miss working, but I have been so busy doing allContinue reading “Like a Bird on the Wing”
