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”
Early Bird
Light morning rain could not dampen the determination of this cardinal, and as the official early bird, arriving before sunrise, it was rewarded with seeds, not worms. The cardinals seem to think that seeds are better food than worms anyway; I couldn’t agree more. #earlybird #cardinal #birdfeeder #morning #seeds #worms

My solar telescopes are back in the light. For the past few months I have been working on a very special project and chose to put observing on hold for a time so I could put my full energy into the project. After more than 20 years of observing the sun, it was nice toContinue reading “Leave of Absence”
Kazoodle
Christmas came early the other day when friends bearing gifts, which included the two kazoos, joined us for dinner. We had a good laugh and a great dinner, followed by a fun jam session with guitar and ukulele, and even a little kazoodle-doo. Thanks, friends. #kazoo #geshundheit #health #christmasgifts
Supermoon
After carrying out the trash for this morning’s pick up, I was greeted with this jaw-dropping sight. The December supermoon hovered above the trees while a contrail crossed from Canis Minor (upper left) to Auriga on the lower right. Just below the trees in the upper part or the photo, the brilliant Jupiter forms aContinue reading “Supermoon”
It’s What’s for Breakfast
It has fruit, dairy products, protein, cereal (it has a graham cracker crust), and is packed with enough energy-producing carbohydrates to power us through the day. Yum! #blueberries #cereal #milk #breakfast #carbohydrates
