Farewell to the Sunrise

Every day is a different day Our month of sunrises is concluding today.  These are yesterday's spectacle.  The intensity of the coral pinks and reds on the water was an experience. I had thought that sunsets would be more intense than sunrises, and find science is right.  They are equally wonderful.  The beautiful skies concluded with great cloud cover that brought in winds and rain.   View this email in your browser

Garden Ornaments Florida-Style

What do Florida gardens have for ornaments?     Across the the coastal highway is an older neighbourhood.  It looks like houses might have been built starting in the late forties and early fifties.  The new builds are going up, and they tend to be large.  Stylistically they fit into the seaside resort architecture theme.   These first two pictures show the old style.  I haven't seen a boat planter before or a permanent lemonade stand in a neighbourhood.  Maybe on the Toronto Islands, where there are no cars.  It is possible to imagine yourself in a 1920's or 1930's community with a slower life style. And with us being on the coast overlooking the ocean, there are endless pictures of the ocean to be taken.  These last pictures are the storm 2 days ago and yesterday's sunrise.  I didn't go out on the porch with the camera as it was so cold and windy yesterday morning.    And there's big surf and wind today too. I am up before the sunrise, so perhaps I will get to see the 5 planet lineup this week.  The clouds will want to blow away and bring some calmer days - the sound of the surf remains thunderous.
