I carried these colorful, angular rocks home from Colorado to Florida, and they now rest atop of smooth river rocks from elsewhere next to our house. Sometimes nature also finds ways of moving rocks out of their original context, such as when glaciers carry rocks many miles from their origin. In those cases, the displacedContinue reading “Flora-rado Rocks”

World Traveler
They originally came from India and were first “officially” discovered in southern Florida about five years ago. Perhaps they arrived as eggs in the soil of decorative plants. As usual, by the time authorities realized another “invasive species” had arrived, the proverbial horse had left the barn, or in this case the snail, and theyContinue reading “World Traveler”
Cool Colors
I must admit, we don’t get cold weather here in Florida, we get cool weather. Though it may seem cold to us, the hibiscus plants love it and make even the cool days colorful. #hibiscus #cool #florida #weather #colorful
Camellia Colors
While the rest of the country is fighting the cold, in Florida some of our plants are behaving as if it were spring. These camellias were blooming brightly with little regard for the cold front that is finally headed our way. We will enjoy them while we can. #camellias #flowers #coldfront #autumn #florida

Unsteady She Goes?
I did a doubletake on the name of the pickup ahead of me at a local intersection. I expected a name much more fitting of this beefed-up behemoth. Nope, it really is named “Tremor.” Good grief this is Florida, land of snowbirds and old farts who are desperately afraid of getting the “tremors!” Slapping thatContinue reading “Unsteady She Goes?”
Clouds and Keys
We had been told to remain seated and keep our seatbelts fastened as we neared our Florida destination nearly three weeks ago. However, we were able to avoid much of the turbulence by remaining in the clear skies over the Gulf and avoiding the “thunder-bumpers” over the Florida peninsula. On the right side, mid-photo, CedarContinue reading “Clouds and Keys”
Tis the Season
Summer is here in Florida, and that means two things, heat and storms. Even though there are no hurricanes nearby, the afternoons always bring threats of thunderstorms with high winds and drenching rains. But that is not all bad; they also cool the air significantly. Yesterday the temperatures went from the low 90’s to theContinue reading “Tis the Season”
End of the Line
Two weeks ago we loaded up the rental car and set off on a most excellent adventure. We drove from central Florida to Oregon, crossing the country diagonally southeast to Northwest, a total of nearly 3,200 miles. It was amazing to watch the changing countryside change along the way. We took our time and stoppedContinue reading “End of the Line”
