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”

Jimmy Hula’s. Fish Tacos. Beer. Good Crew.

I visited the Jimmy Hulu’s on Aloma Ave in Winter Park this week. Bottom line: I liked it. In a review a month or so ago of a different Winter Park eatery, I told the world that the fish tacos in that well-known and… Continue Reading “Jimmy Hula’s. Fish Tacos. Beer. Good Crew.”

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.

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”
