After our morning walk this misty blossom reminded us that like it, we were due for a shower. It is nice to live in a climate that allows us to see the occasional late season bloom dripping with droplets rather than frozen in frost. #autumn #hibiscus #bloom

Beginning to Taste Like Christmas
“Mmmmm” is for molasses cookies with frosting and sprinkles. The Christmas Fairy and her somewhat-dependable Elf were busy today! #christmas #cookies #fairy #elf
Rare Bird
We spotted this limpkin over the Thanksgiving weekend. It is a bird seldom seen, and we were delighted by this rare view. #limpkin #circlebbarpreserve
Good Night Heron
We found this black-crowned night heron during our walk at the Circle B Bar Nature Preserve. We had not seen one this year, so now it is # 117 on our annual bird list. YAY! #blackcrownednightheron #Circlebbarpreserve #birdlist

The first airplane ride that can I remember was in this aircraft, and I thoroughly did not like it! Later, however, I came to love the airplane and looked forward to each chance to go for another ride. Both my brothers flewContinue reading “Past Plane and Simple”
Hoppy Thanksgiving
Wishing all a warm, gentle, wonderful Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving #bunny
Well, This Ain’t Gonna Fly!
Seated just behind the wing, I took this photo and thought: There’s no way they are taking off like this. I waited for the announcement of delay due to deicing, but it never came. The plane left the gate and taxied towards the runway; en route to the deicing bay, I thought. Soon all airportContinue reading “Well, This Ain’t Gonna Fly!”
