Sleeping It Off

I don’t suppose that these flamingos stayed up after midnight to celebrate the new year, but they do look like maybe they partied a little too much much last night. Perhaps the white ibis that appears to be staring at them sternly will point out the errors of their ways after they awaken from theirContinue reading “Sleeping It Off”

Window to the Past

The new year is only hours away. May many cherished memories remain from years passed. #newyear #

Hindsight

The old year is fading fast, but it leaves behind colorful memories to be cherished for years to come. #leaf #leavebehind #colorfulmemories #oldyear

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. There are many other ways to express holiday greetings, but however you chose to do it, may your holiday season be happy and bring you close to family and friends. #merrychristmas #holidays #danishContinue reading “Glædelig Jul!”

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!”
