Having a Fine Time at Trimble Park on Earth Day

This is my third visit to Trimble Park on the farthest edge of Orange County and I’m havin’ a ball! Took plenty of photos, too. I’ll have more to say about this beautiful spot a bit later. For now, here are a couple of… Continue Reading “Having a Fine Time at Trimble Park on Earth Day”

A Visit to Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa

Had a really good time at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa today. As many of you know, I really love zoos. Tampa has a good one in Lowry Park. This too-cute cub is about six months old. She’s just adorable and had something she… Continue Reading “A Visit to Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa”

The Recent Return to Moss Park Was a Success in Every Way

No, it wasn’t just about lots of butterfly pix. That was a real treat, for sure. Even if I’m the only one who thinks those photos constitute some really awesome camera work. It may well have been my coolest encampment yet. And the gang… Continue Reading “The Recent Return to Moss Park Was a Success in Every Way”

J’ai seulement vu un papillon la première fois

When I saw this photo the first few times, I thought it was only one exquisitely beautiful papillon, but it’s two. Not sure why I didn’t see the second one for a while. She’s turned “on edge” so she seems one-dimensional. But there are… Continue Reading “J’ai seulement vu un papillon la première fois”

Butterflies and Bees Work Together Well

Check out that bee in the center of the photo. It’s easy to miss him, as the butterflies tend to draw your eye. I suppose in nature, everyone has their role to play. I guess that’s true of people, too. I’m thinking that now… Continue Reading “Butterflies and Bees Work Together Well”

More Beauty Out Here. I Have No Words to Describe It

I think I took something like 480 les photos des papillons aujourd’hui. Will only get a few up here. Here’s another one that stuns me. I’m done putting these pix up on my blog for now. I’ve got to get back to editing. That’s… Continue Reading “More Beauty Out Here. I Have No Words to Describe It”

Exquisite Beauty is Hovering Around Moss Park Today

I’m in butterfly heaven right now. Some of these photos can almost make me cry. Much more editing to do, but I’m getting some of the ones I really like out now. Are butterflies not some of God’s most amazing creations? (Don’t draw any… Continue Reading “Exquisite Beauty is Hovering Around Moss Park Today”

Cassady Brewer’s Blast Helps to Power UCF past the Bears in Sunday Softball Action

Our UCF Knights knew that the Baylor Bears were going to be a handful. They were sporting a 22-4 record as their bus motored down I-75 toward Orlando last week. They were ranked 15th nationally and had bested some very good softball squads in… Continue Reading “Cassady Brewer’s Blast Helps to Power UCF past the Bears in Sunday Softball Action”

Making Final Preps For a Return to Moss Park

In spite of their very aggressive raccoons — one of whom had the stones to rummage through my car last time — I truly do love Moss Park. Headed back this week and I promise to get some good pix. Battery’s charged and I’m… Continue Reading “Making Final Preps For a Return to Moss Park”
