Dino-sore

A replica of a 13-foot tall, 40-foot long Tyrannosaurus rex stands guard at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The original specimen was discovered in South Dakota in 1990 and was named Sue after its discoverer, Sue Hendrickson. This replica has been dubbed Dino-Sue and looks like a formidable and indominable creature. The bones reveal, however that Dino-SueContinue reading “Dino-sore”

For the Last Time

Yesterday, Fairies looked the other way while I wound the wall clock for the very last time this year. It should merrily tick-tock its way all through the holidays until we wind up in the new year. #wallclock #wound #holidays #newyear

Down Jacket

Breezes ruffled its feathers as the wren puffed up its downy insulation to fend of the chill of a passing cold front. Stay warm, my feathered friend. #wren #down #feathers #cold

Levitation

Boobytraps abound in the delightful, tranquil-appearing forest, so beware: Lurking limbs may be suspended overhead just waiting for the right moment to break loose from the weak vines still holding them and crash onto the ground or whatever is below. When walking through the woods, we keep an eye on what is overhead as wellContinue reading “Levitation”

Finding Gold

Though seemingly plain and unnotable, even Spanish moss can shine golden when seen in the proper light, much like many wonderful people that I have met. #gold #golden #unnotable #plain #properlight

Winter Wonder

It’s hard to imagine blooming flowers near Christmas time. Our temperatures normally run around 52 degrees for a low and 72 degrees for a high (Fahrenheit), with cold snaps seldom reaching freezing which allows flowers like these to help color the holiday season. Though these temperatures may seem “cold” to Floridians, people up north mustContinue reading “Winter Wonder”

Nutcracker

She kept a wary eye about as she picked her morsel and then crunched and cracked the shell until its remnants flew out of both sides of her beak at the same time, leaving her with the delicious seed. Ahhh! Breakfast! #cardinal #birdfeeder #sunflowerseeds #lunch

Fairy Good!

After yesterday, the Fairy Cookie Mother is really going to need help from the Fairy Coffee Mother, but I’m not complaining! #cookies #fairy #mother

Reflecting the Season

Rays of the rising sun cast shadows of the flamingo and the poinsettia onto the adjacent wall. The poinsettia seems content just to bask in the light while the flamingo appears to be gazing intently at the Christmas tree which is reflected in glass of the picture frame behind it. Each seem to be underContinue reading “Reflecting the Season”

Let’s Pretend

Mountain bike trails in Florida–ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! This sign was along a greenway that is so flat that it was once considered a good location for a canal all the way across Florida, and the nearest mountain is over 350 miles away. I did notice a slight rise while walking along the pavedContinue reading “Let’s Pretend”
