morning light

because i leave my home at 3:30am and miss the mornings in the country
i am so thankful for the days i can see this....

morning walk

my gardenias are opening...how many ways can you take photos of a gardenia? can you smell it - wonderful!


a canopy of leaves - love this tree...so different than the tall oaks, the leaves spreading in lazy flat branches overhead

walking in the morning

these little guys are everywhere...i love the combination of colors that God
put together for tiny little lantana



i love these flowers; they will be gardenias when the buds open. they have such
old fashioned elegance...with their velvet petals and fragrance.

friends come to visit

I mentioned before about owls and hawks. While cleaning the fish and boat after a recent trip to the water these guys came to visit...hard to get a clear photo. So surprised to see them together...we hear them calling usually from afar.

spring colors

from home to the waters

oranges are so yummy this year! the grove owner said there were fewer of them but
they were larger.


This guy follows you as you pull your boat in...he wants a free
fish!

walk on the beach

this little squishy guy was washed up on the beach...he was the most colorful -
most of the others were just gray blobs...
