“Come along, Bunny Brain,” one child said to a younger child many years ago. Now that younger child is grown up and has a bunny with brains of its own. But just what goes through that mind of his? I don’t really know, and he seems quite content to keep us guessing. #bunny #brains #mindContinue reading “Bunny Brain”

Florida Winter Wonderland
Soft, fluffy, and seasonal, these maturing plants shimmering in the sunbeams that filter through the forest reminded us snowdrifts of the colder climates we once knew so well. #winter #snowdrift #forest
Seasonal Sunrise
Sunrays from below the horizon caressed the wintery clouds with color during a recent morning walk. It quickly faded from red to gold to yellow in a happily-hued transition from twilight to dawn. It seemed a fitting beginning to another day during the season when days are short but hopes are long. #sunrays #clouds #morningContinue reading “Seasonal Sunrise”
A Sign of My Time
The other day I was reading a news article about an “elderly” gentleman who had experienced some sort of difficulty related to his age. I should have stopped before I read how old he was. He was five years YOUNGER than I am. OMG, guess what that makes me! However, my wife and I doContinue reading “A Sign of My Time”
Snowbird Return
I was in the backyard preparing to photograph the sun when the familiar raspy rattley trill of sandhill cranes descended sweetly from high overhead. I just had to get their photograph before tending to the solar telescopes. Like human Floridians, migratory cranes flock here in the colder seasons, while others choose to stay here yearContinue reading “Snowbird Return”
Under Wraps
Is Mickey modeling for the contents of the box, or was he just at the wrong place at the wrong time? Wow! It looks like he had a really close call, judging from the scars on the box by his head. Yet, he still is smiling and looks like he has Christmas all wrapped up.Continue reading “Under Wraps”
When the Bough Breaks
Living in the woods has its benefits and its drawbacks. The shade is welcome and the trees beautiful, but at times, they cast down broken branches, especially during stormy weather. This branch came down during passage of a cold front and was about 12 feet long and 2-inches wide at its base. Probably not tooContinue reading “When the Bough Breaks”
Winter Storm
The past two days were warm, but that is about to change once again. Dark clouds surfed the frontal interface with cold air squeezing rain out of the warm moist air as it pushes on through central Florida. A little thunder and some gentle rain were the results. Sorry, no blizzards, but it will beContinue reading “Winter Storm”
Quiet Night
The lights are on, we are home, and the evening is quiet, but not silent. #christmaslights #evening
O Christmas Train!
This colorful train chugged its way across a local mall en route to Christmas cheer for kids. I couldn’t help but wonder, what if Santa used a train to deliver presents instead of reindeer and a sleigh. But then it dawned on me; no, that would never fly. #train #choochoo #santa #christmas
