Sitting In the Garden

“tell me what would be such fun
sitting in the garden sun”

and I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you

I didn't mean to get so melancholy this morning but I'm listening to Tom Waits and he can do that to anyone. :)

Oopsy...forgot to post this on here yesterday. :)

Stand Tall Ladies

"A song inspired by an alleged sexual assault case that happened in Tel Aviv. But, really a song about being a woman in a world where you are not always safe and any of us can fall victim to sexual assault."

Lantana....they call them invasive. But I love them. :)
Don't let your animals eat these, folks...
"It should also be noted that the unripened berries are poisonous to humans, and the leaves are highly toxic to animals."

Mercy Me

This is our world. We need to save it. 
After yesterday's selfish and inconsiderate act against all of us great and small, I'm ashamed and angered once again.

On a lighter note....

I didn't get a great picture, but isn't it pretty? 
It's a Cattle Egret. I don't think I've ever seen one before. Probably because there aren't any cattle by the water in Safety Harbor. Just guessing there....ha
It eats bugs, so I hope it finds it's mate and makes more little Cattle Egrets.
"In the wintertime, my feathers are all white, but in the spring, I get orange streaks in my head and neck. I’m a common bird in Florida’s cow pastures. In the springtime, my face is accented with bright pink and purple to help me attract a mate."
"The remarkable range expansion of the Cattle Egret represents one of the great avian success stories. Unknown in North America prior to 1952, it is now abundant over much of the continent. It spread from Africa to northeastern South America in the 1870s and 1880s; more recently it has colonized Australasian region. Unlike other herons and egrets, this species typically feeds in dry fields, often following cattle (or other animals) and waiting for them to flush insects into view."

Nature ♥️

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday thanks to Christopher and all of the sweet messages. :)
We started the day at the beach and breakfast, went to see the new Alien Covenant movie...I love Alien!, stopped by to visit some furry and scaley critters, and ended the day at The Columbian Restaurant in Ybor City for dinner and to watch the flamenco dancers. ♥️ I'm now trying to pace myself with the chocolate and peanut butter cake Chris brought home. :)
If I could have a next life, I'd come out of the womb intent on being the dancer, doctor, photographer, and musician I wish I could be. Is that too high of a bar? Ha

Tomorrow is our exhibit opening of Amore at Studio 617! Yay!

I'm sharing a couple of macro flora images that I made into my Facebook page's cover photos.
Nature ♥️.....
