I was working on the blog when suddenly a shadowy movement caught my eye; it was me! Sunlight through the window cast my silhouette onto the closet doors and even put a twinkle in my eye. Not only did this provide inspiration, it also made for a moment of illumination. Yes, I really do lookContinue reading “I Caught My Eye”

‘Shroom-bow
With the recent warm, wet weather, mushrooms are sprouting in the neighborhood lawns. This group appears to have been sprayed in an arc alongside the street. Often they form expanding circles sometimes known as fairy rings, however, in this case they appear to make an arch like a rainbow. Either way they make a greatContinue reading “‘Shroom-bow”
Bumped Out
I’m not sure if the owner of this trailer left in a hurry, or if the bump-out was working its way back out on its own as the trailer trundled down the road. It certainly looked hazardous when we were passing it at highway speeds. I was worried that if it were to slide outContinue reading “Bumped Out”
Pleasant Pause
Sunbeams burnished the driftwood stand and sparkled on the blown glass to catch my eye. I just had to pause briefly to admire the view and to take its picture, of course. #driftwood #blownglass #sunbeams #sparkle

Backyard Blooms
This plant took its time, but now it is producing fragrant blossoms that we have been enjoying for the past week or two.

Not Yacht-worthy
The serene scene reminded me of the ending of the movie, “Second Hand Lions,” where a large, ocean-going yacht was seen floating in an even smaller pond. Nope, this is more suited to rowboats than yachts and it makes me miss my dinghy, “Phishie.” I had to sell it when we moved to Florida fromContinue reading “Not Yacht-worthy”
Tis the Season
Summer is here in Florida, and that means two things, heat and storms. Even though there are no hurricanes nearby, the afternoons always bring threats of thunderstorms with high winds and drenching rains. But that is not all bad; they also cool the air significantly. Yesterday the temperatures went from the low 90’s to theContinue reading “Tis the Season”
Sunbeams and Shadows
The rising sun shone brightly through the decorated window above the door and cast shadows on the adjacent wall; another brief but bright memory. #morning #sunbeam #shadows
Ruby Tuesday
The rising sun again painted the sky red but just for the briefest moments. The colors soon faded away, to be missed until their ethereal return at the start of another new day. It made me think of the chorus of the song “Ruby Tuesday” by the Rolling Stones. “Goodbye, Ruby TuesdayWho could hang aContinue reading “Ruby Tuesday”
