Palm, winter light, Nocatee

Winter light down here is very warm, late in the day. I got this just 45 minutes before sunset.

Ginkgo leaves,trug, garden, Roscoe

I have a big, red, plastic garden trug that I use to carry yard waste around to various compost piles or the road, where it is picked up on a weekly basis and recycled. After the Autumn cleanup it sat in the back and slowly collected rainwater. Then the leaves started falling. So, I got lucky.

Rooflines, New build, Jax Beach

I have been watching this house get built for months. When I stop at a red light I am right here. I have been fascinated by the myriad rooves and their drain angles. We have tropical rains here. From what I can surmise, if we have a frog-strangler of a rain ,almost all of the water will end up coming down on the last roof over the front door and should go into the downspout to the left. I don't think it has the capacity to drain the whole roof. It will keep my curious little brain working until our next storm.

Cowbirds, Nocatee

The black males are in the higher branches. These are a breed that has really adapted to humans. They are in every grocery parking lot, actually, only Publix, hmmmmmm. They look for any dropped food. Terrible crys but very bold.

Grass, PVIC, Ocean Course, 18th hole

Pretty to look at, until your golf ball goes in.
