Camera Critters........Nov 7



I guess even sandhill cranes know to use the crosswalk in Celebration, FL.


As you can see, this one made it just fine. But, boy are they ever slow crossing the street. LOL, must be a teenager!

Color Carnival #27


Saw this stained glass artwork in a shop in Celebration, FL and thought "Color Carnival"!

How is this possible? Nov 6


I really do not know what this pelican is trying to do but he looks like he's trying to turn himself inside out?!?

Another "drive by shooting"..........November 5


This is an advertisement for Fantasy of Flight located in Polk City, FL (on the way to Walt Disney World). We were again on the interstate and DH did not stop to take this photo I just shot it through the window.
This is an art deco facility home to over 40 rare and vintage aircraft many of which have been restored to flyable condition. They offer a variety of guided tours including visits to their working restoration & maintenance areas. You can climb inside the cockpit of a Corsair fighter for a battle over the Pacific and then take a spin on their state-of-the-art hang glide simulator in their Fun with Flight area.

We'll miss you sweet Tucker :( Nov 4







Not such a happy post today. This is Tucker, one of my grandkitties and he is no longer with us. My daughter has had two kitties since her college days and just yesterday Tucker, at age 15 years old, went to be with my mom, who passed away in August and also with his housemate, Harley, daughter's bassett hound, who passed away this past June. This has been a very rough year for all of us, so, if you would, please keep us in your prayers

Ruby Tuesday........Nov 3


This cool adirondack chair with the lobster claw back was found outside a shop in Matlacha, Florida. Matlacha is an "Old Florida" fishing village home to many brightly colored art galleries, island boutiques, seafood restaurants and traditional Florida cozy waterfront cottages. The name Matlacha comes from a Caloosa (Indian tribe) word meaning "water to the chin".

Another drive by.....Nov 2


While we were driving down I75 (at 75 mph) I finally was prepared and ready to shoot this shot of this hockey player that was designed to look as though he had "jumped" right out of the building. Click on it to enlarge the detail even though it is a little blurry since we were driving.

Dinosaur's anyone? Nov 1


On our way to Walt Disney World a couple of weeks I spotted this dinosaur advertising for Dinosaur World and I just started clicking away and came up with a really cute picture just as a semi-truck was passing under the dinosaur and here it is below!

Ruby Tuesday

Found this magnificient piece of artwork in a wonderfully fun shop at St Armands Circle in Sarasota, Florida this past week. If I had several thousand dollars I didn't know what to do with (don't I wish) I would purchase this in a heartbeat. It is a solid, hand carved, very large, piece of wood probably about 3' x 5' or so. To see the detail click on it to enlarge.

Blue Monday......Mellow Yellow Monday

Needlepoint (actually quickpoint) pillow I made to go in the guest bedroom which is decorated in a Florida theme.

Another stained glass window decoration I found in a shop in Mt. Dora, Florida.
