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.

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”

Visited Downey Park in the Union Park Neighborhood Today

One of the nicest spots on Orlando’s east side is Downey Park. It’s off Dean Road and can be seen from East Colonial Drive, a major artery in the O’do metro area. You get a great view of the park if you’re headed east… Continue Reading “Visited Downey Park in the Union Park Neighborhood Today”

Krispy’s Chicken in Groveland is Heaven-on-Earth for Folks Who Love Real Food

I try hard to have lunch or dinner at Krispy’s anytime I pass through the town of Groveland. I passed right by this Mecca of awesome eats a couple of days ago, but alas, it was way passed their closing time. I was cruising… Continue Reading “Krispy’s Chicken in Groveland is Heaven-on-Earth for Folks Who Love Real Food”

Winter Park Fish Company. Big Crowd. Mediocre Food.

Finally had a chance to visit the Winter Park Fish Co. and I must say I was not impressed. Whenever I get to a new Seafood spot, I have to order the Fish Tacos. I did and I was disappointed. I’ve sampled fish tacos… Continue Reading “Winter Park Fish Company. Big Crowd. Mediocre Food.”

Camping at Lake Mills Park in Beautiful Chuluota This Week

I am here in Chuluota, a small town in Seminole County. That’s on the eastern side of the Orlando metro area. Lake Mills Park is way more than only the camping area, which has 13 spaces and is smaller than most. I haven’t roamed… Continue Reading “Camping at Lake Mills Park in Beautiful Chuluota This Week”

They’re Back in Black!

If you read Bulldog’s rant about the white unis worn by the Knights on opening day, you might be thinking to yourself: “what’s wrong with a White Knight?” He just didn’t like the blinding whiteness of it all and the fact that it made… Continue Reading “They’re Back in Black!”
