A Girl Can Dream...

 

 

It was a great dream for a couple of hours...

 

 

The world's smallest yacht!

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's For You

 

 

Is this the party to whom I am speaking?

On a Quiet Night

 

 

St. George Street,

on a quiet night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

St. Augustine, Florida.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Grateful for the usual suspects...

dear friends, family, cats, dogs,

blue skies and the moon and stars,

but especially for my time spent in nature.

Time that pulls me out of my head

and back to this beautiful complex world.

I am grateful for that.

 

 

Lights reflecting on the bay by the Bridge of Lions

remind me of sitting on the end of a pier, a long time ago,

and hearing the water lapping gently on the shore,

while being hypnotized by the rippling reflections of the lights from across the way.

 

One of my very favorite things!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Let the beauty that you love,

be what you do.

Birds of a Feather...

 

Fish together!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vilano Beach, this morning!

Human, Stork, Egrets.

 

 

Super Moon...

 

 

Our Moon was closest to us last night...

could you feel it?

 

She climbed out of the clouds and was beautiful for the rest of the night.

The tides were crazy high

and the cats were just crazy!

 

Lots of folks out to see the "Super Moon."

Life Goes On...

 

 

Ducks still swim in ponds and the sky still reflects beautifully on the water.

The sun rises and sets and the moon too.

 

And so we must also,

rise and set with the rhythms of life.

Yes, It's the Car Wash!

 

Needing to get the undercarriage washed after the Hurricane,

and the "Do it yourself" car wash didn't do the trick,

I succumbed to the Show Boat Car Wash,

and was glad that I did.

It was nearly psychedelic,

and it took me too long to get the phone out to shoot

(although I like these shots!)

so, I must go back soon and capture the colors!

 

Here is the obvious shot...

What is This?

Sunset

 

 

Anchored driftwood-

the top completes the bottom

on reflection.

 

 

Yesterday's sunset, yesteryear's tree...St. Augustine Inlet, Vilano Beach.

 

Hello!

 

What, you can't see my spoon bill?

O well.

 

Can you see the Roseate?

Okay, then.
