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: Journey


I have been waiting for an opportunity to post these pictures, and this week’s theme “Journey” just provided the perfect one. Most days I go out for a walk with Sasha, our lab/husky mix, around 1:00 pm; the same scene usually greet us on our journey.

Across the street, on our neighbor’s yard, a turtle has made her home. She comes out of her nest a couple of times a day but most definitely at the same time we go for our daily walk. She even spies us as we approach her territory and ensures to get closer to her refuge the closer we get. Her antics fascinate me, so this time I decided to capture some of her moves as she is sunning and then when she quickly runs to hide from us, all along–Sasha anxiously hopes to follow, it is a daily “dance” that leaves me exhausted but marveled at the animal kingdom’s instinct to hunt and the need to ensure survival.

Suntan time, just chilling!
Ahhh, the sun feels so good; but here comes that dog. Gotta go!
Patiently waiting... just let me loose I'll get her!
