drain pipe, salt marsh, merritt island national wildlife refuge, florida, 2008
accompanied our 5th grade son's spring birdwatching field trip to the atlantic coast's merritt island, also home to john f. kennedy space center and the space shuttle. identified more than 30 birds, enjoyed a picnic, and cool, overcast weather.

amtrak's north-bound silver meteor, amfleet coaches, winter park, florida, 2008
there's romance in riding the rails. motion. movement. more than just point-a to point-b, a train trip lets you focus on the journey, not the destination. having clickety-clacked accross the country by coach more than once, i speak from experience.

from the evening garden
white amaryllis, leu gardens, orlando, florida, 2008
leu gardens (one of our favorite spots in central florida) contains a delightful area called the evening garden, filled with various white and lighter colored plants. these glow at twilight, making them pleasingly visible at evening, and many feature fragrant flowers which attract insects.
some unusual specimens include a variegated banana, white mexican petunia, and this snow white amaryllis.
