Sky Watch Friday

This one was taken at the beach around sunset last weekend. Everything was kind of hazy and so the sky looked like a giant rainbow. I don't think that we were able to fully capture the awesome sky, but it's still pretty. :)

Butterflies

These were taken at the Natural History Museum in Gainesville at the University of Florida. They have a large section that is entirely devoted to butterflies - there's a butterfly garden, a nursery area where they hatch new butterflies (which is where these were taken), and a huge display of butterflies of every size, color, and shape imaginable.

Sky Watch Friday

I've been drawn to water and blue skies lately for my Sky Watch photos and today is no different. This one was taken down in St. Augustine. We've had some rain the last couple of days, so I was feeling the need for a crystal blue sky. :)

Birds

An assortment of feathery friends for today's blog entry.

"E" is for Equine

For today's ABC Wednesday, I've gone with an equine theme and picked some of my favorite pictures of horses that we've taken. The first three are from the Olustee Re-enactment we attended this past weekend.

This beautiful horse is from the Medieval Fair we attended last year. I've posted a picture of him before, but he was too gorgeous to resist posting another. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Olustee Highlights

So, we went to the Battle of Olustee this weekend. Not the actual battle, but the annual reenactment. :)

It was very cool (as usual) and also very exhausting! We did get some really good pictures, though.

Sky Watch Friday

Nice bright blue sky for Sky Watch Friday today. The weather has been lovely the last couple of days. Pretty rainy before that, but now we're into the calm after the storm. DH and I have plans for a field trip to take lots of great photos this weekend. More on that in days to come. :) But for now, we can all take a deep breath and just enjoy the moment.

Happy Valentine's Day

Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not, I hope you have a wonderful day. :)

"D" is for Drawing and Duck!!

I couldn't decide between two pictures for ABC Wednesday, so I went with both today. I hope you'll humor me.

This is a Disney cast member portraying Walt Disney in a parade. Why did I pick him? Because he's Drawing! Incidently, the parade was called the "Dreams Come True" Parade.

This one is a Duck. In case you didn't know. ;-) He waddled near us when we were waiting for the parade in the previous picture to start. We think he was looking for Donald.

Lots of D's today - Disney, drawing, Donald, dreams, ducks, dork (well...the blogger is, anyway). :-D

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by. :)

Can't see the forest..

This is the park next to the St. Augustine Light House.

Cool Breeze

New Friend

Hubby and I were out and about this weekend andran across this little guy. :) Usually kitties that you see outside don't really want much to do with people, but this one was really very friendly. He came right up to me, rolled around on his back, and let me give him a tummy rub.

Sky Watch Friday

A nice relaxing beach shot for today's Sky Watch Friday. Enjoy :)

It's what she do

"C" is for Character Greetings at Disney World!

The first several pictures are from a trip Hubby and I took in a Christmas trip to Disney World a couple of years ago. It was really cool - they just had this room with all the characters scattered around it. And NO LINE!! (Which is practically unheard of at Disney!)

Us and Pluto

Alan and Minnie...

Minnie got a little too flirty for my taste, so I stepped in! ;-)Us with Chip n' Dale (for those who don't know - Chip is on the right and he has a chocolate chip nose, Dale is on the left with the red nose). They were such goofballs!
Us with Goofy
Us with Mickey!!

This is me with Mr. Incredible taken on my birthday visit to Disney that Hubby surprised me with. :) Nobody was waiting to see him and I felt bad, so I asked Hubby to take my picture with him. Once I did, he had a line of kids form to see him, too. :)

These are without a doubt, my favorites. Anyone who knows hubby & I knows that we are semi-obsessed with Penguins. We love them! We have over 200 of them scattered throughout the house. So, when we were at the Magic Kingdom on the aforementioned Christmas trip, riding on the train, absolutely exhausted, and saw these guys, we totally flipped out. We almost jumped off of the train while it was still moving a little (and got fussed at by the conductor!).

Note my super stylish pink Santa hat (it says "Princess" on the white furry part in the front and it comes with its own tiara!)

These poor penguin guys - we ran up to them screaming and jumping up and down the whole time, like they were a couple of rock stars or something. lol! We figured they either thought we were just plain crazy, or they were excited to get the kind of reaction that most people reserve for The Mouse.
