The autumn light show continues with stripes of the setting sunlight framing the pumpkin decorations on the dining room table. I love this time of year. #sunlight #sunset #table #pumpkins #decorations

Rain Ration
It’s been a dry year; even during the rainy season we have had only one or two days with any measurable precipitation per month. This day we received just enough of nature’s rain ration to dampen the driveway and yard, but not enough to register in the rain gauge, let alone satiate the thirsty Earth.Continue reading “Rain Ration”
Clear View
The darkness accents the newly-cleaned window so that the eye can focus on decoration with their kaleidoscope of colors rather than dirt. #window #color #cleanwindow
A Life Completed
The large moth weakly fluttered its wings in a vain attempt to fly away as we approached during our morning walk. It likely had lived out its full, seven-day lifespan as a moth and had accomplished its purpose during that lifetime. It was a thing of beauty rather than pity, and its short life wasContinue reading “A Life Completed”
Fuzzy Little Feathered Friends
They are here year round in the marshes, trees, and on the fields, and this time of year they frequent the local lawns. Their curved, tweezer-like beaks probe the crevices for insects and other food as they march slowly, deliberately across the ground. They are beautiful in flight despite the comical appearance of their facesContinue reading “Fuzzy Little Feathered Friends”
Autumn Purple
Who would ever have guessed that purple can be an autumn color? Late summer and early fall these bright berries appear to brighten the Florida landscape and feed songbirds and butterflies to the delight of us all. #autumn #americanbeautyberries #purple
Tis the Season
We couldn’t wait any longer; the holiday season has begun. For me Halloween season is a magical time and a fun kind of scary that I have enjoyed since childhood. Bring it on! #halloween #witches #holidays
A Wink and a Smile
Just as the charts predicted, Venus and the Moon seemed to almost touch yesterday morning, and appeared to wink and smile. However, the charts could not have predicted that a bat would photobomb the image; it seemed to just brush the top of the darker part of the Moon. I could have easily erased theContinue reading “A Wink and a Smile”
More than a Moth-ful
While washing windows, I found this lizard with its breakfast on the hose that I needed to spray the windows on that side of the house. The lizard scampered away with his moth moments after I took the photo, but a little while later I found him, still smacking his lips from his gigantic meal,Continue reading “More than a Moth-ful”
Dog’s Patience
The two-leggers were done petting, and scratching him behind his ears and had started talking, which was of no interest to him whatsoever. So Finley did the only logical thing; he lay down to rest until it was time to start moving again. He didn’t whine or complain about being ignored or of how hardContinue reading “Dog’s Patience”
