Betterphoto February Contest Winner


 
Betterphoto's contest for February had 4700 .  My image of Peacock Feathers is one of the Second Place Winners this month int eh Details and Macro category.  Here's a link to all the contest winners.

Looking at the calendar, what might we expect today on April Fool's Day? Here are two food jokes offered up on the internet:


1. Buy oreos for the office - then laugh at the bewildered and disappointed faces when they realize you've filled their cookies with toothpaste.

2. Replace the custard filling in donuts with mayonnaise.


If you are inspired to participate and looking for jokes, this link has lots of possibilities here.

Finding Feathers at the Fountain of Youth

St. Augustine boasts a long history  - Ponce de Leon landed in 1513.  As children we learned about his landing and discovery of the Fountain of Youth.  We visited the site yesterday.  It bills itself as Florida's oldest attraction. The site is the oldest successful European settlement in the U.S.  In the 1930's it was discovered to be the burial site of native American aboriginals known as the Timucua. 

A bonus was a  flock of peacocks who inhabit the grounds.
