Poodle in the clouds


Do you see what I see?


Yep! A fluffy, white poodle!
:) 

I wish for you a day of warmth

with skies the softest blue...

with puffy clouds, the whitest white -

no darkness showing through.

Weekend Reflections~ Oct 3, 2010- Reflecting Ball

***






***

We saw this  big silver reflecting ball recently in front of a business in our town. Of course I  asked my husband to stop  so we could get a  better look.

This silver ball is much like the garden gazing balls that we have at our place, but a lot bigger! This one stands about 9 -10 feet! (I'm guessing)


I like the ball with the clouds reflected in it.


Would have been great if I could have got the reflection of our flag in the ball...but it was across the street-too far away!


Lol- In one of the shots you can see me standing by the car, getting my pictures!

Skywatch Friday-Sept 17, 2010- Perfect Central Florida Sky

~~


(see more skies at above link)

~~

Today we visited  some of our family in Orlando. It was a beautiful day  and we enjoyed our 2 hour ride from our home in  Ocala.

The sky was just the way I like it best...bluest of blue with an abundance of white puffy clouds.

We stopped by a lake on the way and I was able to get a few sky shots to share!

Enjoy!

'Along the Road'

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road

Last week when my husband and I went out riding our motorcycle we saw this water tower in our town.


I always like to photograph them-
especially when the sky looks like this!

Victory Ride~8~29~'09


~~~

Well...finally we went for a ride on the motorcycle today! It was my first ride in a long while. For one reason or another I just have not been riding with Charles in months! ( mostly I haven't felt physically up to it lately) Have to say, tho, I did enjoy today's ride very much!

It was a beautiful, blue sky day, with
not a cloud in the sky when we started out!

( as we were leaving home )



















We headed out for a Hardee's chicken - biscuit. The only Hardee's left in our town is way out-about a 1/2 hour drive from our place. We went the express way (I-75) and had to roll with the flow of traffic...pretty fast! It was fun and I felt completely safe behind Charles.


We enjoyed our chicken/biscuits and coffee, as we always do. I had just one but C. had more! :)

LOL- It looks like C. is taking his breakfast deal more seriously than me!!














By the time we came out the sky had changed and some dark clouds were showing!

"Utt-ohh!" says Junie Rose!













About that time, too, our daughter called on the cell, saying Alli was coming home for an overnight visit!!
Yaa Hoo! We decided we'd have a dinner at our place for the kids...

K... but we still had our ride ahead...

Not that it was to be a huge deal this time. In the past we have taken all day rides...or 5-6 hour rides, anyway. But I knew I'd not feel like such a long ride, since I had not ridden in awhile!

We rode south, ending up in Summerfield and then Belleview and then on homeward.

Luckily, that dark cloud did not produce rain after all, so we had a very nice ride.

Charles' ultimate destination was this junk yard of old farm tractors and such! He was looking for a Bush Hog type mower implement for cutting the pasture! LOL-Yes-of course he found one!
(He made a trip back with a trailer to get it!)





SO ~ we had Tina,Dan and Bri, Alli- and our son Chris for dinner! Served the BBQ we had in the freezer that we had bought in Alabama! ( :) - made it easy on myself)

Oh~Alli is very excited about her college life unfolding! :) It's a pleasure to see such enthusiasm!

I'm so happy she's close enough to be able to come home as often as she wishes; not every weekend, I'm sure, but often. It was mighty fine seeing our girl today - and we will see her again tomorrow!

It was a good day and one I am thankful for.


Love,
Junie

Sky Watch Friday~ (for-8 ~ 21 ~'09)

~~~




~~~

This was yesterday's sky in Orlando, Fl.

We went down there and helped
our granddaughter get moved into her dorm at UCF.



Some of the day was like this ~~~


~~~ but most of the day was like this!




Of course, I preferred the blue sky/white clouds parts of the day! :)
