Things Afloat
A helium balloon floats high above in the air while boats bobble on the water during passage underneath a wooden bridge. The same principles in different mediums allows each to remain buoyant in a setting where more than just the spirits are uplifted. #boats #balloon #bridge #disneysprings
Holiday Traffic
These fish at the underwater observatory at Homosassa Springs appear to be imitating human traffic at the local airports. I’m just glad that you don’t have to look out from above and below like these fish do as you thread your way through the maddening maze of travelers. #fish #airports #holidaytravel #homosassasprings
Homeboy
He waddled slowly out of the darkness of our neighbor’s yard around 8:25 pm one November night and onto our driveway where he sniffed about briefly. Apparently finding nothing of interest, he wandered around to the front of the house, sniffing and browsing along our sidewalk, then crossed the grass and disappeared into the shadows.Continue reading “Homeboy”
Reflecting the Holidays
Even after Christmas has passed, memories, like reflections, remain of the people we love and of the “fairies and elves” that were so happy to help Santa create those memories. #memories #christmas #fairies #elves
Glædelig Jul!
“Glædelig Jul,” which is “merry Christmas” in Danish, in honor of my Eskildsen ancestors who immigrated to America in the late 1800’s.

Small is Bright
It’s not yet Christmas, and it isn’t night, but all is calm and small is bright. Fingers of sunlight touch the slender Christmas Spirit figurine and also caresses the frame of a 100-year-old “no-name” banjolele. In keeping with the timeless spirit of the season, the sun’s rays honor even the small and the nameless. #christmasContinue reading “Small is Bright”
Oh Deer!
“Is that an albino?” someone gasp as they pointed to this deer at Homosassa Springs. No, it is a “piebald” deer. It has dark eyes, nose, and spots on its otherwise white body due to a rare genetic mutation that also slightly changes some of its body proportions. It was not the least bit shy,Continue reading “Oh Deer!”
Tis the Season
It’s the holiday season, so these trees might be a little confusing to anyone who isn’t local. They are turning color just in time for the holidays, unlike their northern cousins who dropped their leaves weeks ago. It may seem a little weird, but that’s just how they do it here. #silverriver #holidays #season #autumncolors
Rising with the Sun
Rising With the Sun by Howard EskildsenThe middle of the night Seems a strange time to arise To drive to the place Where more than time flies From security to concourse Then onto a plane With the thrust of jet engines We rise upward again The sun hugs the horizon As we leave the runwayContinue reading “Rising with the Sun”
