just keep smiling
/
Andy was sick right before spring break and missed 2 days of school. Then he he seemed better until Tuesday and got this cough. It kept him awake as he refuses to take any medicine (kept me awake too). But he keeps smiling and usually is a happy kid.

Forget the guessing games, mine aren't difficult enough. I am just doing macros this week. I noticed this bucket of screws that my dad had left on the lanai. Even though they are rusty, he keeps them just in case. I had fun with the actions on this, first I applied urban grunge then old chrome from Itty Bitty Actions.

juror #12

Hope this helps to answer your questions. Yes, you can sit in the chairs. Though some are too small for an adult sized bum and others are too tall to climb up without help. Bonnie sat in the few that she could climb into easily.

face the jury
/
Face the Jury by Douglas Kornfeld is a public sculpture outside the Judicial Center Building in St. Pete. There are 13 chairs but my photo only shows the 12 of the jury. The chairs are all different sizes but scaled larger than life. The best part about this is that we stumbled across this by chance.

My friend came in for the weekend and we went to St Pete to take some photos. I haven't been in years and it was fun to do without kids. Our first stop was Straub Park and the Banyan Trees. Can you believe these massive trees started out as fig trees? Those viney things are roots sent down by germinated fruit which will grown into more of the trunk.
I am loving this week's new theme of Natural Light. Especially since I have turned my camera flash off and love to take photos outside.

more bubbles

Andy wasn't too sure about his bubble gun. He managed to get quite a mouthful when he looked at the barrel and he squeezed the trigger.
bubble gun
/
When I was a kid, we had to dip that plastic wand into a mixture of dish soap and water and we might get a few bubbles. We did get messy and the ground we were playing on got slippery from the soap. Today these kids just squeeze a trigger and get their bubbles. No messy hands, so slippery porch. It's worth the $4.99.

Sad day. Every time I touched or moved the tulips, another petal would fall. Ah but they made me happy while they were here.

tulip #25

I sacrificed 3 of my flowers and went outside today. I stuck them in the wood fence then woven them through the swing chain. I got great bokeh with the chain. I am not sure how many more days these flowers will last so I am getting my money's worth out of them.

To help force spring down here, I bought some tulips. I played around with my macro and got some interesting shots. Nothing wow! but gotta learn first.

Another photo from yesterday. Spring in Florida is like summer to rest of you. Well, the nice part of summer. It's warm, in the 80s, sunny and breezy. We don't get much, if any rain. Just great days to go outside and enjoy. (I know I'll be hibernating in a couple of months. ;) )

jasmine is blooming
/
And it smell SO good!
This is just one small bloom in the sea of vines that has taken over the back corner of my yard. It has grown over the crape myrtle and created an arbor. I really need to cut it back, but after it is done blooming.
And I got a new 50 mm/2.0 macro today! So bright, still getting using to zooming with my feet.
