Weekly Photo Challenge: The sign says…

These last two signs were on the walls leading to the restrooms at the Louisiana Children’s Museum in New Orleans; it immediately caught my attention and put a smile on my face with the realization that the message is so on point. I now use it as reference when one of my students makes an off the cuff remark about other children. Point well taken! LOL

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

A beautiful reflection, I cannot believe this was almost three years ago; she is now four years old. Oh my how time flies!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Purple

I have been busy, really busy this past month. All sorts of life events, vacations, babysitting gigs out-of-town, family illnesses, birthdays, baptisms and I am sure I forgot something else. The upside? I have spent the month of July in the company of my most beloved people and feel happy and fulfilled. I think I am now ready to resume blogging duties, unless of course…life gets in the way.

I missed a few of the photo challenges and rather than attempt to catch up by back-posting, I will jump right in here with my purple submission. As soon as I saw this prompt, I knew I had to go down to Punta Gorda to snap some pictures of the “purple house” I frequently drive by. The choice of color always puts a smile on my face, not something I would have picked myself…but I absolutely love how it looks with its white trim; especially on an old traditional Florida home such as this one. And below… the slowly fading purple of our crepe myrtle tree. Aah, nature!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Create

Perfect! I was wondering how to use these pictures I took a couple of weeks ago during one of my many visits to Orlando. Lately, I am on a quest to find things to do that have nothing to do with the usual (Disney, Universal) Orlando attractions. So on this weekend, we happily headed to the Orlando Museum of Art to take in the latest exhibits. Naturally, they did not allow pictures taken inside the museum, but I had enough material to keep me busy with the sculptures that adorn its entrance. And, as a bonus the “Orlando International Fringe Festival” was going on outdoors, right on the grounds of the museum. Food, art and strange sightings. Who am I to complain? LOL

That was so relaxing, let’s go home now

The creative folks abound all around us!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Close

This week’s photo challenge “Close” has the potential to take on many lives. I’ve missed posting during the last two challenges mostly because I was spending time with our granddaughters; after a day of “toddler chasing” and getting real close to the ground, the last thing I wanted to do was sit to post anything. I thought about it every day, but the energy was not there. Instead, I chose to enjoy every minute possible with the girls, and cherish the closeness.

Pecking order — A family that eats together…stays together? LOL

One of the things I love about SW Florida, I never know what I’ll find outside my door on a given day. This family of White Ibis, made itself quite comfy a few days ago. I love it!
