Snorkeling time on Providenciales!

Week 7 of 2012 - Roads Paths Trails

On Tortola the roads and paths and trails were steep!

Feet in paradise

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Rain in paradise? Still spectacular!

RainBOW over my wing. Tortola - BVI.

Week 6 of 2012 - Leap

Leaping Lizards! Went to Tortola and the vacation villa had no screens on the windows so the lizards were leaping throughout the place. At least they were cute. The tarantulas not so cute!

35/52: Colour

Willkommen! Colourful flags in Frankenmuth Michigan.

10/52 of 2010: Work or People at work

As noted last week I spent a week in the Caribbean looking for the wrong theme. Above is one of pics I took of "People at work" showing 3 islanders building a fence. There really wasn't much work to be seen happening on the small island of Nevis so this was a rare find.

As for a picture taken DURING the theme week of the actual theme here is a pic I got from on top of a parking structure while standing on top of an enormous pile of melting snow piled up by a plow truck. It is a view of the work going on to the new Sonic (America's Drive-In) being built down the street from my house. Sure it looks like the circus is moving into town but they say it's just a new restaurant.

9/52 of 2010: Flare

I spent the week on the Caribbean island of Nevis. 7 days of sunshine, beaches and 85 degree weather. You would think this environment would have offered many photo opportunities for the subject matter of "lens flare" but I got my weeks mixed up and spent my time looking for "People at work" (which is the theme for next week.) So here is a sunset as my flare.

Graffiti from the recent past

While on the "graffiti" subject the last few days I remembered this one I came across while on my mini-vacation to the semi-sticks back at the end of June/beginning of August.

.

It was found on the Tridge in Midland, Michigan.

FYI: I did not deface this tridge - I merely took the pic.

Another lighthouse

Here's a non-square light house over in Grand Haven Michigan.

I posted this pic on a new site I came across today Living In HD. Well the site is new to ME. Not sure how long it's been around. I'm hoping to win a 50" Plasma in their contest for Road Trip Landscape photo! Poor poor me doesn't have a HDTV. I still watch TV like our ancestors did on a tube television. Good thing I just got back from a road trip with actual road trip pics.

E-I-E-I-O

The other day I was driving through the sticks (I mean country) about 5 miles north of Kalamazoo Michigan and I passed a farm.

And on this farm they had a:

With a neigh-neigh here and a neigh-neigh there. Here a neigh there a neigh. Everywhere a neigh-neigh.

(That is if a zebra actually does "neigh".)

More moon

Looks like my mobile cell blogging worked this time! Don't you just love technology... when it works. And I would like to thank Verizon for adding the ads to my post! Too bad I won't see any of the benefits from that advertisement but I'm sure they need all the monetary help they can get.

Anyway folks, around the same time as yesterday's mobile upload I took this pic with the Canon G9 of the moon in the sky and a gull on the lighthouse (a square lighthouse at that). Last week I posted The (full) moon seen round the world. Here it is in the last quarter. The gull looks very uninterested in it all!

Lake Mich in the morn

Cell blogging try again: Gibberish or beautifulness?

Mini trip #2

Goin' west until I hit big water.
(Lake water that is.)

OH... and I saw NO meteors last night! Come to find out best sighting was late late late right before dawn. I don't think so!

Nature Merge

From my travels last week: a 5 frame merge of a scene at the Chippewa Nature Center somewhere out on the 2.7 mile River Trail.

Drastically downsized for this blog. Sorry but space is limited.

Bigger bugs at night

While kicking back on the porch up north (a Michigan term) I saw a big thing fluttering. Turned out to be a huge moth drinking nectar from some flowers. I got two shots of him and then the flash pretty much ticked him off and he flew off into the night.

Good bye, country life.

Ahhh, back to the suburbs and my suburban mini-farm. And by mini I mean 0.00165 of an acre. I can't imagine taking care of 10.5 acres. That's 10.49835 more acres! Who's got that kind of time?

OE or Other?

From the library in the semi-sticks:
(the real library and not "the library")

Seems my blog posts from my new cell phone are a bit jumbled. Except for Tuesday's post about memories. What up with that? Will have to fix later (when I get home as in later) since the public library isn't the place for that. Mostly due to the limit on my log in time is almost up on this public computer. Damn RULES! See ya!

Oh, and the farm is a farm and has crops! Sugar beets I hear. But what's the diff between a sugar beet and a beet beet like I grow on my farm? I will investigate later (when I get home as in later). Note: what the farm doesn't have is internet & tv (the darn digital conversion never made it there yet). I feel like the Amish. Almost.
