All the Snakes from Ireland

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

What better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with a photo of some pretty oriental lamps I took at our local sushi house?

Today is a Black and White day

Some days just feel black and white. Today has been one of those days. It’s a day made for hot tea and daydreams.

I took a nice walk today

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I had a lovely walk today. Apparently, even Florida has some Autumn colors. Of course, we have to wait until mid-January to see them.
