perhaps I will just post a smattering of this and that...my life this past week outside of the Secret Garden! I do hope to get back out there to the garden in a little while today to keep up with the Secret Garden Chronicles for each day...but that will come later.
Okay, so here we go...This first batch will be pictures from my "travels" and "Journeys" over the past few days:
 |
| Cypress Tree swampy area along the Ocklawaha River. Picture taken from the car as we drove by and were slowed down for road construction. |
 |
| The Ocklawaha River, picture taken from the car as we traveled, and I rolled down the window, stuck the camera out the window and snapped! I was amazed at the beautiful reflections that were captured!! |
 |
| The Ocklawaha River again...taken from the car as we passed by... The trees are waiting for spring to reclothe them in beautiful garments of green leaves... |
 |
| From our morning walk today... a little mist above the ground as the sun shines through the trees... |
 |
| Also from our walk this morning...the sun shining through the oaks |
 |
| Here's my hubby, throwing his ball....notice his is RED |
 |
| And here am I, throwing my ball...notice mine is GREEN |
 |
We were tied, 9-9, and then - Please note that the GREEN Ball is closest to the little ball...which means I WON!!
Okay...next on the agenda...a little mystery: Some different kind of tracks found in our yard:
 |
And then we found this on our wildlife "nite cam"
That is a bobcat...which we have had many times before...but never did we see such unusual tracks as those above. If anyone thinks they could be something else, let me know...but the pictures do tell the tale...or lack thereof. (tail...that is...note the bobcat has a "bobtail"!)
And then of course, no wildlife adventure would be complete without a few bear pictures thrown in just to keep you on your toes:
THE END!!!
I hope you enjoyed this little trip through my world this past week! As you can see,
we have a lot more going on here than just sitting in the Secret Garden!
Oh, did you see my Amaryllis pictures? If you are on my facebook page, you may have already seen these, but for those of you who are not, this Amaryllis plant is a Christmas Tradition started by my father years ago. He would buy each of the ladies in the family one of these Amaryllis bulbs to plant each Christmas, and we would have such fun watching it grow and within about a month blossom into a beautiful flower. After my father died, I have continued this tradition with my family...or if I can't find them anywhere, my sister gets them for us. This year was a good year for them! Here is my plant that decided to bloom just this week:
Each day it is getting fuller and fuller, and there are actually two more buds ready to open on this one stalk, and then there is another stalk that hasn't opened quite yet!!!! So I was double, triply, and beyond blessed with this flower!
Okay, that really IS the end of today's Friday Foto Friends pictures.
Now I hope you will skip on over to my friend Debbie at Breathing in Grace and check out what the rest of our friends are posting today!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY MY FRIENDS!!!
