OK, now for some explanation....the first is tonight's waxing gibeous moon...full mooon soon. The 2nd is a lone white pelican gliding at sunset. 3rd is a group, Sunday morning, but there were 7 in all. 4th is the Mallard ducks who have just laid eggs in our bush. Babies coming up!

Oh, and that trek we took thru the estuary in St. Pete, here's at least one:

And a couple more..

Those last two are on the lanai...amaryllis and my "baby" pineapple.

nice moon pic

Great pics, Kathy!!! As usual.... Love seeing the beauty of FL, it's not all beaches!

Awesome pictures!
Thanks for sharing.

Those are great pics Kathy! I especially love the closeups on your lanai.

Just beautiful!

Kathy, can I go to your's and Larry's place and photograph your flowers?

All of Pam's and my flowers look like these:





and






Yes, white flowers are nice but,........

Too funny Tom! Very nice Kathy! Thanks for posting. I have a secret affinity for Spanish moss.

Thanks Kathy, we up north need that fix from time to time.

How much snow on the ground Tom?

Kathy - as always, beautiful pics As Jerry said "we up north need that fix from time to time.
Thanks
Tom - love your whites

Almost all of it is on the ground Jerry, tho there is some still on the shaded parts of the roofs

Update at eleven!

Tribs, I have a tree out front that you would just LOVE!!! It's all yours!!!!



We get skydivers landing in it occasionally...

Kathy, beautiful pictures. The Trek picture looks like a "Hide and Seek" picture.
Lots of stuff going on there!

Thanks folks.
The hike we took Sunday was a Weedon Island Preserve. Very nice...but on some of the sand trails I could hear critters in the foilage and was on the watch for gators. lol It's really beautiful there, and there were lots of canoes and kayaks in the waters...tons of crabs, and really nice birds.

Hope you guys and gals up north start feeling spring soon. It's 80's here as far as you can see in the forecast.

Cute white flowers, Tom!

Those shots did come out clear, didn't they?

Jerry, there are only a few inches of crusty snow left on our lawn.

I'm off work today. Came home from dropping off my truck for some work and found these fellows on the corner of our lot.

The sun is to the front of us so the pictures are not that great, but the ibis were fun to watch.

Sorry, I've got to learn how to add other clipart.

Nice pics, thanks for a little bit of Spring up here! A couple days and it will be officially the first day of Spring. I am so ready for it, heard a commercial on the radio for Rita's ice, saying they are giving out free italian ice out on the first day of Spring. Still a bit too cold for me to think about italian ice though..., but very nice of Rita's to do that. They do it here every year on the first day of Spring.

Linda, nice catch of them!!!

I came home and there's a flock of 14 ibis out there aerating the ground. lol It's so funny that they're just everywhere. Sometimes the snowy egrets will land on our cars in the parking lot downtown, and never flinch when we walk by.

Deb, we could use some ice here. 90 on the lanai now.

Ohhhhh, I like these pics better fused....

i got the same feeling looking at those two pics on my blackberry - really did kinda look like a single pic...i thought about posting the above...

still needs some sort of shaped reflection on the water? a faded mirror image of the moon?

beyond me but maybe timmmmmmmmmmy?

Beyond me too, Bob, but I do have some new software on the way. (I see a learning curve or two coming up!) Just came in off the lanai and there's a huge full moon out there over the lake. Well, officially full tomorrow, but it's nearly perfect.
