A little over a week ago this ribbon snake was caught skinny dipping in our pool. Now it is back. This time I caught it in a deep net from which it was unable to escape before took it out of the pool area. I hope it stays away so we can get back inContinue reading “He’ssss Back!”

To Graze the Moon
The predawn sky offers momentary sights of pink and red colors on clouds and contrails in the sky. I have been on flights that flew through the colorful morning clouds and marveled at their glory. In a curious alignment recently, this pink contrail grazed the top of the moon to provide a rare sight muchContinue reading “To Graze the Moon”
A Veteran’s Wife
The recent flyby of a WWII vintage Army C-47 with invasion stripes brought back memories of a person I never met and one that I will never forget in what seemed like a different lifetime. She was an excellent nurse, very kind and caring, and it was my privilege to work with her for severalContinue reading “A Veteran’s Wife”
Outside Looking In
This moth was on the outside of the pool screen one morning. Was it wanting to get in or was it quite happy to be outside? Most likely it just needed a nice place to rest, and what better place than by a pool. #moth #screen #swimmingpool

Finally one stout vine held until it felt like something gave way below. Another tug, and even more seemedContinue reading “Root Cause”
Pubertal Pineapple
They no longer look infantile, but they are not fully developed; in human terms they are pubertal. The developing pineapples in our backyard have the awkward adolescent appearance of a fruit that will soon mature into full adulthood. Sweet, I can hardly wait! #pineapple #pubertal #adolescence
Wetting Their Whistle
While waiting to board a pontoon boat for a tour of Lake Dora and the Dora Canal in central Florida, we noticed these two whistling ducks by the shore. They were dark in color with bright pink bills and their calls sound much more like the whistle of a squeaky bathtub toy than the usualContinue reading “Wetting Their Whistle”
Tahitian Dreamin’
Sunlight accented memories of trips to Tahiti and its surrounding isles. Though the sunset eventually faded away, the memories never will. #tahiti #frenchpolynesia #sunset #memories #tahitianukulele
Ribbon Snake Roundup
It struggled to get out of the pool not long after we had all exited. Though not sure just when or how it entered the pool, I know exactly how it got out. With a net on a long pole, I “rescued” it, but it it leapt out of the net onto the pool deckContinue reading “Ribbon Snake Roundup”
