Weekly Photo Challenge: Together


I was busy and almost forgot to post my entry for this week’s photo challenge, together. I took these pictures last week while visiting one of my favorite places in town, Bayshore Live Oak park; and as I looked down into the water here is what I saw. A little sign of life among the rocks. Isn’t nature just amazing? It really is the little things that make life full!

A new sign of life…
A tree grows in the Peace River!
There it is…more signs of life!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Sun


The topic for this week’s photo challenge is the sun. Initially, I thought to use one of the many sunset pictures I’ve snapped in the past, but as I continued searching through the digital file, I came upon these instead; captured last fall during a visit to Bok Gardens in Orlando, FL. They reflect the sun in all its glory, at least I think so. LOL

Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects


A view of London from the Thames

This is one of my favorite pictures, taken a few years ago during a trip to London; I took this picture during a cruise through the River Thames on one of those days when the London weather decided to cooperate. That day we discovered that one of the best ways to see London’s famous landmarks, is from the river. As we went past London County Hall, I was duly impressed with the architecture of its building and had to snap this picture. You can see a corner of the London Eye peeking through on the left side as well a ship passing by. This week’s photo challenge: Two subjects.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged

This week’s photo challenge: “Sometimes you chance across things which were arranged on purpose, or on a whim – find something in your environment which was arranged by a human hand for others to enjoy!” Share a picture that means ARRANGED to you! 

On a recent trip to the Farmers’ Market I was happy to find some of the fruits and veggies I like. Beside bananas, which I love, there was an ample supply of green plantains–which put a smile on my face. Growing up in Panama, one of my favorite meals to have on a Saturday morning would be “Patacones con Salchicha” or “Pescado” or “Carne”, also known as “Tostones” in other Latin cultures–it basically translates into “fried plantains with sausage, fish, or meat”; but plantains are one of the most versatile fruits you can find, they are nutritious and delicious and a great complement to many meats, fish, shrimp even egg omelets.

Arranged in this basket are some of the fruits that made it into our very own yummy dish, such as the one displayed below.

Tropical produce…patacones anyone?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Through


The photo challenge for this week, through, provided me with the opportunity to post this picture of my hubby, taken last week while he was pruning the trees in our yard. I was just playing around at the time, but it worked to my advantage. You can see him through the branches…hard at work while I played with the camera. Thanks for the photo opp, honey!

Meanwhile right on the lot next to us these vultures, were watching us. Ugh, what a creepy feeling I got.
