The First Shots from Tampa

Any one who has looked at this blog knows that I like to shoot photos as I walk.  Well, I walked - in the neighborhood, walking up past Pride Elementary School where the girls attend.  the White Egret, and whatever the big black bird in the top of the tree is, were in a conservancy area across the street from the school.  There are many such areas near here where there is a broad spectrum of wild life, including gators, in addition to what you see here.  Alas, the ducks were in a pond on the property of a much less exotic apartment complex.  Please remember that clicking on any given photo will make it larger and will reveal more detail.  Enjoy.

Happy Birthday

9 October 2011 would have been my brother Stan's 60th birthday. He may well have been the brightest person I have ever known. Happy Birthday. 

The Neighborhood in Early October

This is a beautiful time of year, and it is especially so in the morning just as the sun comes up.  Soon I will not live in Angola - hello, Tampa - and these are some of the random things I noticed on a walk - one of my last - down our road to Crooked Lake and back a few days ago.  I hope you like them.  Remember you may want to click on each photo to enlarge your view of it.
