Begging Bread
Little Red Hen has been busy once again in the kitchen and this time had help from some little chicks. Neighbor kids came over to watch with wide eyes how she brought five loaves of bread into being. Of course, a loaf of bread went home with each child, but we still had these threeContinue reading “Begging Bread”
Camellia Colors
While the rest of the country is fighting the cold, in Florida some of our plants are behaving as if it were spring. These camellias were blooming brightly with little regard for the cold front that is finally headed our way. We will enjoy them while we can. #camellias #flowers #coldfront #autumn #florida
Deco-glow
Decorations are aglow with only a week to go until Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving #aglo #deco #sunlight #rays
Oodles of Doodles
Steep-walled pits shadowed in the lowering sunlight are the lairs of antlion larvae which are often referred to as doodlebugs. The larvae wait patiently, I guess, for small insects, mostly ants, to tumble into the pit to be captured and consumed as food. It may take months for the doodlebugs to catch enough food toContinue reading “Oodles of Doodles”

Most would be annoying and perhaps a little painfulContinue reading “Danger Dangling”
Word in the Woods
This stone was wedged in the fork of a tree along a trail, quietly sharing its happy thought for passers by. I hope this brightens your Monday, even if only a little. #cheers #happythought #monday
Left Leaf
We had parked under an oak tree and upon return, found this fallen leaf conveniently cradled in the passenger window frame, begging for attention. I don’t suppose that oak trees can smile, but if they could, I have no doubt that the tree which had dropped this leaf would have been smirking. #oaktree #oakleaf #smileContinue reading “Left Leaf”
Little Green Cannibal
We came across this praying mantis while walking on a local greenway trail. It seemed not the least bit interested in us, nor bothered by our presence. We were neither food nor potential mates, fortunately, for the female praying mantis draws little distinction between the two. When a female mantis captures its prey, which canContinue reading “Little Green Cannibal”
Berry Beautiful
A quiet walk through the woods often conjures serenity that can last through the rest of the day, especially when treated to scenes like this. #beautyberry #serenity #walk #woods
