The queue to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction wound back and forth past exotic decorations to set the imagination astir. However, in one corner, a growth of actual bamboo plants added a feeling of the tropics to the set. The ride itself blended history and fantasy with living touches of reality, that made theContinue reading “Bamboozled”

The Hair of a Queen
I had often admired the wispy, stellar site of Coma Berenices, “Berenice’s Hair,” sparking softly in the clear, dark, winter Nebraska skies of my youth. It is hard to see here in Ocala due to surrounding city lights. I was delighted that it showed up as a faint sprinkling of stars clustered near the lowerContinue reading “The Hair of a Queen”
Running Errorands
The pill organizer we ordered from Amazon to replace our worn out travel case turned out to be too large, clunky, and heavy. No problem, I thought, just return it through the UPS Store as we had in the past when necessary. The Amazon website for returns threw me for a loop, however, when itContinue reading “Running Errorands”
Irish Eyes
Saint Patrick’s Day had come and gone but its memory had not faded into the sunset. The lowering sunbeams set the green cloth and vase on the buffet aglow, and then burst into rainbow stripes that danced in the background. It was a delightful “sharin’ o’ the green” for all eyes, Irish or not. #greenContinue reading “Irish Eyes”
Snow Far, Snow Good
I love snow when it is far away in places such as, I don’t know, maybe Idaho. There it will provide a frozen reservoir of water until the summer is in full swing and the land needs it in liquid form. Yes, this is the good kind of snow, the kind that is far, farContinue reading “Snow Far, Snow Good”
Springtime
I was writing “SPRING” in the pollen that had gathered on the lanai table. In the process I sneezed, sending the “G” off the table and onto the floor, never to be seen again; kind of like my hair. #spring #pollen #lanai #hair
Goodnight Birdies
The seed in the feeders is going down nearly as fast as the setting sun. Goldfinches, sparrows, chickadees, cardinals, and a host of other birds have been jostling for dining space at the feeders. Now all is calm, but come sunrise another feeding frenzy will commence, much to our delight. #birds #birdfeeders #cardinals #chickadees #sparrowsContinue reading “Goodnight Birdies”
Lightly Seated
Dawning sunbeams pause to rest lightly on the davenport before continuing on to brighten and enlighten the day. #dawn #sunbeams #davenport #brighten #enlighten
Berry Interesting
Bright red berries caught my eye in the backyard, spilling out of their gray husk and scattering around the remains of their parent plant. While the winter freezes killed much of the plant, this pod emerged from below ground on a stout brown stalk to reveal the beauty and the promise of new life thatContinue reading “Berry Interesting”
Pollen-makers and Pollinators
The azaleas are in full bloom, producing pollen and nectar, much to the delight of the butterflies seen buzzing about the photo. While my eyes enjoy sight of the pollen-maker and pollinator, my nose, and sinuses will be much happier when there is less pollen later. #azaleas #flowers #pollen #spring #pollinators #pollenmakers
