A young kangaroo is called a “joey” because it is a marsupial. This one seems quite far from home; perhaps it is on a pilgrimage to visit the nearby nativity scene. He appears to be enjoying being the little drummer joey, but I believe that the squirrel thinks that we are both nuts. #joey #kangarooContinue reading “Little Drummer Joey”

And a Ukulele in a Palm Tree
My ukulele, that I named Lokelani after the “heavenly” Hawaiian rose, rests peacefully beneath a stylized palm tree, both radiating the colors and good will of the season. #holidayseason #christmasseason #ukulele #palmtree #lokelani

Saturday Travelogue
Cars Afloat
While aboard a pontoon boat near Disney Springs we saw this Amphicar driving on, of all things, water! Immediately three words came to mind: “Blub, blub, blub,” as in the sound of something sinking. But no, it merrily bobbed its way about the water and is a popular attraction at the springs. Amphicars were madeContinue reading “Cars Afloat”

Doggin’ It
It is our favorite rollercoaster, and it puts smiles on children and adults alike. Dips, peaks, and smooth curves combine perfectly to thrill without jolting the joints. Here’s the view from over the top of one of its largest hills. It was loud, rollicking, good time. #rollercoaster #disney #slinkydogdash
Wet Wooly Bear
Temperatures approached freezing that morning, and then the sprinklers came on to add to the insult of this cold, wet caterpillar, which is sometimes called a “wooly bear.” It wasn’t moving when I found it, and I wondered if it were still alive. It shuttered a bit when I gently touched it, but it didContinue reading “Wet Wooly Bear”
Father Christmas in the Light
Christmas season arrives at the end of the year, but brings with it a sense of new beginnings. Perhaps that is why, as an older adult, I prefer to view it through the eyes of a child. #christmas #dawn #newyear #end #beginning
