Cattle Egret

There are lots of birds in Florida and they are beautiful.  There are a lot of Cattle Egret’s, which are a species of herons.  There is something graceful about this bird, both in it’s walk and when it flies.

Bunny on Easter

I got up on Easter morning and went for a walk, what a perfect Easter day to run into a bunny, he even stopped for a photo!

Lots of Golf

IMG_2414.80Orlando, Florida

There are a lot of Golf courses here in Florida, they are everywhere! I was walking along and having a wonderful time when I read a sign, Golfers ONLY, wow, I had to turn around and I was sad because the golfers got a good, closer-up view of nature. So, I stopped and took a photo of the flags and golf balls on the ground. By-the-way, do you know what GOLF stands for? Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden, that is how it started, it was a man’s sport.

Flying Over Farmlands

Yesterday was fun to see your thoughts on this photo.  We flew from Utah to Florida and the weather was beautiful and cloudless most of the way.  I could see the beautiful farmlands below.  I love this photograph of the various farmlands with their different colors that look like quilt patches!

Magnolia Tree

Beautiful Snowy Mountains

I love looking out the airplane window and seeing what is below.  These mountains are beautiful covered with snow.  Even though it was April, there still was snow.

Utah to Florida

Landing; Orlando, Florida

We had a great trip across our country to Orlando. I love looking down at the cities and farmlands. As we landed in Orlando, I was surprised at all the lakes, it was so pretty. I was reminded of Bette Midler’s song, ‘From a Distance’.

From a distance the world looks blue and green

And the snow capped mountains white

From a distance the ocean meets the stream

And the eagle takes to flight

From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It’s the voice of hope

It’s the voice of peace

It’s the voice of every man

From a distance we all have enough

And no one is in need

And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease

No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments

Marching in a common band

Playing songs of hope

Playing songs of peace

They are the songs of every man

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

What all this fightings for

From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

And it’s the hope of hopes

It’s the love of loves

It’s the heart of every man

It’s the hope of hopes

It’s the love of loves

This is the song for every man

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance

God is watching us

God is watching

God is watching us from a distance

We went and saw The Lion King and it was absolutely awesome!  We saw it in London, England in 2004 and it was great then, but it seemed to be even better this time! I had to put my feet up and RELAX for a bit, before it began!!

Friend’s Home

We had a delicious Italian meal at our friend’s home, it was yummy, and then it was time to RELAX and ENJOY!  Notice my poor left big toe, the toe nail.  That is what happens when someone steps on your toe, you can lose your toe nail.  I might have to touch it up in photoshop!   :^)

Tea Party

IMG_0722abefgOgden, Utah

We went to our granddaughter’s birthday party and it was so fun, there were all these little 9 year old girls there for a TEA PARTY.  They were so cute, as they held up their saucer, the cup and their pinky fingers in the air as they drank their tea (herbal tea or hot chocolate)!  ENJOYING LIFE!
