Florida White Birds Love Mowed Grass

Recently, the lawn service people mowed the fields in our neighborhood.  And a white flock quickly flew in for the bug hunt of the day!  These white birds dug deeply when rooting around for bugs and such...and they aerate the land at the same time.  Multi-tasking Birds!  Yippee!

Snapdragons, Teaberries, and Neveah!

Three streets in Parkside West are named Snapdragon, Teaberry and Neveah. 

Playful Snapdragons... Pop one of the many flowers open like a puppet.  You are a puppeteer! Fun.

Fragrant Teaberries...Tiny white bell-shaped flowers followed by red berries along branches that smell of wintergreen.  The bubble-gum plant! For Clark's Teaberry Flavored Gum.  The Teaberry name stems from colonists during the Revolution using these fragrant wintergreen leaves to make tea, while boycotting English Tea!

Neveah ... Neveah is a variation

of Heaven

spelled backward. 

Amen. 

Tree Frog

Patrick and this little critter have seen each other often in the last few weeks.  Tonight I captured him on film.  Can't tell if it is a native tree frog or a cuban tree frog, both being in Florida, but I think it is a native tree frog...or maybe it is just a "wall" frog.  Cute....

Reflections

After a whiplash of high winds and continuous rains, seeing the pond

with still waters and reflections is soothing.

Red Sky at Night

Red sky at night,
Sailor's delight;
Red sky in morning,
Sailor take warning.

Nature's Bountiful Wild Blossoms

This multicolored bouquet of Mother Nature is surrounded by what looks in the picture like Baby's Breath.  Not...but nifty!

Yellow Blooms...sunlit flowers.

Red Sky at Night

The sky was brilliant aqua.  My camera inside.  Ran.  Got it.  Aqua gone, red gorgeous.  August 18, 2011
