A little warmer again this morning. But we're used to these teases of fall in Florida.
I hope we have another soon. The last couple of days have been beautiful.
She flew right in front of me when I was taking a picture. Then proceeded to land and chew with her mouth open a few feet away. I don't know what she was crunching on, shells, crabs, but she didn't seem to care that I was sitting there which was cool. :)
Have a good day peeps!
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love
I'm the only one that sees you
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
"Why did the ghost go into the bar?"
"For the booooooooos!"
Volume up ^
Last week's encounter with the bats. There are usually two but this time I counted at least seven. ♥️

I've been saving this since North Carolina. :)
Volume up! :)
And I'm pretty excited that I figured out how to upload my poor quality phone videos from Facebook to Squarespace. :)
A video I took of Chris when we arrived at a hotel after hours sitting in the car on our last vacation. :)

It's under 70 degrees which is cold for us wimps. But I love it. :)
Silver water and circling flocks. :)
Have a good day peeps.
Good morning peeps and grackles. :)
It's an overcast, breezy, and beautiful morning.
Have a great week!
Almost ready for Halloween! :)
Aaaand The Walking Dead comes back on tonight.
Eek!
I've known Chris for seventeen years and he still doesn't understand that the peanut butter cups are for me and not the kids. ;)
:)
Good morning peeps. :)
Have a good day.
For a Facebook challenge from a friend. "Seven days. Seven B&W photos of my life. No people. No explanation." Every day we were supposed to nominate another person. I don't do well at things like that. I didn't know if I'd even did the whole seven days but it became kinda fun. I'm not a copy/paste if you agree type of gal. Or a forward this to seven people if you agree type, either.
But I'm sharing my participation. :)
Sadness is very relaxing if you're lying down.
Someone was drawing on the table at work. I'm adding color.
Hi!
So, we took a vacation. And this post was really for family and friends that aren't on social media. The pictures are pretty terrible for a photo website. But this is just my blog, so I can do whatever I want on this part. ;)
And although I stayed on Facebook and Instagram...because they're so easy...I neglected this site. Now is time to play catch up. I've been sharing a lot of phone pictures lately. Something about not wanting to put everything on the internet to be copied, or whatever, but more so I have new work to show at exhibitions. I'm silly this way? I will share a few of my better pictures randomly in the next few weeks. :)
We took a driving trip up the east coast, all the way to Montreal. Yes, 3,500 miles in the car...oh boy. It was kind of a vacation from everything. I didn't take a lot of photos, didn't exercise, didn't shave my legs. Ha
But what we did do is visit some family members and that was wonderful! With stops in Virginia, New York, and North Carolina we spent time with seven people I'd love to see more. ♥️
The leaves were starting to change. The weather, although a little warmer than they usually have, was beautiful! Our trip back had us pinned in at our stop in North Carolina from tropical storm Nate. Yikes!
I regret that I don't know how to upload my silly phone videos here, because I find them entertaining. Perhaps I'll look into that some day in the future.
Day One
Driving Into October!

Interesting personalized transpo... ?

Give it a go.

A little family stuff. :)
My awesome sister-in-law offered to take me with her to yoga. I thought I was going to hang out with her and laugh at myself but I dug the class, too!
Driving under the water always freaks me out. :)
Under the Chesapeake Bay....Yikes!
Ever see a guy dancing through a parking lot and he looks like he's dancing to the song inside your car?
"Well-a-well-a-well-a-well....tell me more tell me more did you get very far...tell me more tell me more like does he have a car.....
....summer days drifting away...but-oh those summer nigh-ights..."
He had shaving cream on his face. I know not why.
Just a drive by this time.
Very high on the list of places I don't want to be during the zombie apocalypse. :)
Fun! :)
Saratoga Springs is pretty cool.
Live music, yummy food, pretty area.
Mirror Lake in Lake Placid is highly recommended. We stayed at a hotel called High Peaks Resort. Be sure to get a spot on the lake!
I'm near the top of Whiteface Mountain wondering how I'm going to get back down. It's beautiful, the elevator is broken, Chris is at the top, and my legs are jelly. Haha
I don't think I'll be doing Machu Picchu after all. Wahhh...
Montreal....
As cool as it could have been, we couldn't wait to get back to nature.
But the music, the food, and french being spoken all around was wonderful!
Best wake-up greeting! :)
❤ Praying Mantis ❤
(Chris took pic...I only have two hands.)
A little early for the full colors but have still had some golds, reds, and oranges...
Yes, this is through a window...forgive me.
Hello to Nate. Not the view of the mountains we're used to but still beautiful. :)
Don't they look suspicious? ha
Last sunrise of vacation. Wahhh...
Riding and riding and riding back home.
And listening to some awesome folk rock on one of my newly discovered radio station GotRadio Folklore.
"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall."

"...As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson
And some silliness because we need it to survive....
I've been told I need to do self portraits.
So here I am in my bag of Cheetos.
You have to start somewhere, even if it's at the bottom of the bag.
Me at the gym today!
Ok, maybe not.
Me taking a picture of a picture on the wall at the gym today.
Pulled myself out of bed to try a run to the sunrise. The sun didn't really make a good showing but it's always worth the trip.
Have a good day. :)
