Juts some random weirdness

Beach Camping Trip Feb. 2013

 Newborn Leaf

 Breaching Whale

Wooden Wave

These are all what some kids 

in an afterschool program did

with one of my pics and picmonkey

 This one may have to printed in metallic and hung in my dining room!

Such teenage editing!  The more bling the better :)

Tums...anyone...Tums?

yeah...yeah...

rides, lights, demolition derby...

who are we kidding?

We all go to the fair

eat FAIR FOOD!

Bagel Dogs

  Cheap Refills of Diet Coke

 Candy Apples

 Elephants Ears

 Fresh Squeezed Lemonade

 Pretzels

 Twisty Fries

Sausages

I had an areapa, plantains and candied almonds.

I forgot to eat a funnel cake, deep fried Oreos, roasted corn, chicken on a stick, 

corndog, caramel apple, cotton candy, sno-cone,

gator nuggets (yea-we both know I was never going to eat those)

and...sadly...

no chocolate covered cheesecake vendor this year.

Maybe I will have to go back~

Wanna come along?

Demolition Derby Baby!

I don't care which small town in the South you find yourself in

if you wait long enough

there WILL be a Demolition Derby

and

it...will...be...AWESOME!

The fence is 6 feet high and I was trying to shoot through the fabric-

next time...and there will be a next time...

I will bring a ladder :)

And Now for Something Different

Spring Break this week...I did NOTHING! It was so amazing.

Clean a little house, laid by the sea, boated, ate, spent time will many of my favorite people...

I do not want to work tomorrow.

Last night was the Collier County Fair

First, the animals.

 Alpaca

 Bunny

 Camel

 Chicken

 Baby Goat

Bee

Okay...the goat is cute

But the rest...

They all looked right into my camera and said 

"BACK OFF ANNOYING HUMAN"

Ok...I am back :)

I have not posted since SEPTEMBER?  What is wrong with me?  Too many adventures I suppose!

Here are a few from this wekend

This kite flew all day without any one actually flying it...PERFECT WEATHER!

Up in the air with a friend

This is my new aspiration-

 "Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance
And she loves to dance"

"I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
...
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
Pirate flag and an island girl" 

well..an island anyway!

Thanks Kenny!

Just some pretty Florida flowers

in

the 

MIDDLE of winter!

Sorry Up North Friends-I had to!

Love~

Random Boredom

I have not been near the water in two weeks...no wonder I feel like the top of my head is going to pop off!!!

I can't tomorrow, but Thursday, for my own sanity-I MUST!

Till then, just s few of the hundreds of shots that I never look at twice -

 Just a Wall

Cool Bird-he so is checking me out!

Crashy Rock Thingies

 

 Beach Walk

Pink Sky

Thinking about the small things

They say "Don't sweat the small stuff", then they say "God is in the details".

I happen to think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Sometimes the small stuff will kill you and some times the big stuff will crush you.

I really have no answer...

so I went looking for the little stuff on Sunday 

in a quest to understand the big picture.

There is a really cool place here in Naples called Freedom Park

It is a little bit of the swamp in the middle of town. 

 It is set up to handle the runoff water from several large nearby communities.

It uses nature to filter the water before sending it back out.

Boardwalks and paths run through 50 acres.  Truly amazing!

I went in search of God-the Details.  

The little things to awe and amaze me and 

remind me I am not all that in this giant puzzle

Just A Little Piece.

First-Flora and Fauna

 

Then Friends...or maybe "Frenemies"

After I got lost (seriously-I meant to stroll...but I came out 2 hours later)

I did feel better

Not great

I am still fighting "it"

but it will be all good...

I took a million pics, but my macro work is AWFUL and 

I really want a new camera!!!!!!
