Dragonflies rested on reeds over water filled with small aquatic plants and myriads of microorganisms. They all seemed quite mellow; everyone was getting along very well, which was nice for a change. #dragonflies #marsh #mellow #ocalawetlandrechargepark

Flight of the Falcon
Yesterday morning a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center at 6:33 am. Two minutes later we could see it rising from our street in Ocala. The photo shows the upper stage climbing away on the left while the booster return burn can be seen towards the upper right. It was theContinue reading “Flight of the Falcon”
Ghost of Bargains Past?
It appeared to be more like a haunting than like merchandise; the ghost of shopping past, maybe—that would be the Dickens! It certainly was a scarry mask and appeared just in time for Halloween. #ghost #shopping #merchanse #costco
One Too Mini
Saturday morning found Mickey and Mini lying on the ground while a bemused ghost watched over the scene. I figured that the pair must have been partying Friday night, and that they each had had one drink too Mini. #onetoomini #miniandmickey #party
Chicken Little Revisited
Maybe the sky was not falling, but it must have seemed like it when gusts of wind from thunderstorms spawned by a distant hurricane sent this treetop crashing to the ground. Obviously, I avoid going outside when it is windy or stormy; I guess that is just my “inner Chicken Little” showing through. #chickenlittle #treebranchesContinue reading “Chicken Little Revisited”
Timeless Wings
Time fades photos and memories, but only a little, for the thrill of the moment will always remain for those who flew such machines; the the engines’ roar, the feel of the wind lifting the wings, the smell of avgas, and the view of earth streaking by far below. Thanks, Bruce, for sharing your memories.Continue reading “Timeless Wings”
All’s Well That Ends in a Well
Rain dropped steadily throughout the past couple of days, intensifying at times and diminishing at other times. More then five inches fell, but there were few puddles. The sandy soil eagerly slurped down the moisture which trickled deep it into the aquifer below the ground to refresh our water supply. So, in the end, inContinue reading “All’s Well That Ends in a Well”
John Froggerty
I had a pretty good idea who left the door open, but I wasn’t going to say. At any rate, this little frog decided to do some exploring in the Land of Giants on the other side of the threshold. His expedition was cut short when I saw him seated on the dining room floor,Continue reading “John Froggerty”
Cheerful Witch
A dreary day drizzled drops of rain and humidity that fogged our windows and clouded the spirits; I really needed something to brighten the day. Then came along this little witch who was cheerful in nature; not mean like some of the others. So, I plugged in the lights, smiled, and the day got aContinue reading “Cheerful Witch”
October Orange
A slow-moving cold front lingered to the north and clouded the skies for days on end. During our walk, the clouds parted just long enough to let the rising sun paint their undersides orange and glorify their otherwise gloomy appearance for a few brief moments. More rain was on its way. #october #coldfront #orange #halloween
