This guy is my favorite animal from the zoo trip yesterday, also one of my favorite shots. He looks like a very thoughtful bear.. This guy was rescued from a circus, so he is used to people staring at him! He was just hanging out on a beautiful day…

Quotography..#3
“There will always be someone out there better than you at something, it’s your job to rise to this challenge. Attempt to overtake the throne, and even if you fail, you will have gained far more experience than if you gave up at the beginning.”
This is my final quote from the project, and it was the toughest one for me to represent. I actually took this shot on the day of the deadline! I was cooking a “Mexican Feast” (at least that is what Food Network Magazine called it!), and I thought these recipes are quite the challenge. I used many new ingredients and techniques. Whatever the subject is, dive into the challenge! If it’s a culinary challenge, make sure to enjoy the meal 🙂
(Check out the whole quotography gallery at Nick Exposed, and also check out the second collaborative project, the new challenge is long exposure photography.. join in and have fun!)

“Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments.” Rose Kennedy
This quote is so true. I’m realizing that more and more everyday as I watch my daughter grow at light speed! She has a lot of milestones in her life, but the precious moments are what I’m making sure not to miss. Here she is playing with grandpa’s “to be shredded” pile of papers. Something so simple gives her so much joy! A moment that we won’t forget!
(This is the second part of my submission to Nick Exposed’s Quotography collaboration, take a minute to check out the gallery on his site!)
Quotography…#1
“Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.” – Socrates
This is my old man tabby, Ichabod. He is somewhere between 12 and 15 years old (he was a stray so no one knows for sure). To me he is beautiful forever, but now he is starting to show his age. The hair is graying.. his skin is sagging.. he has lost quite a bit of weight.. so this once beautiful cat who ran the house, has started to take a step down in the pecking order around here. Now, our younger/more beautiful cat is large and in charge! This seems to be a common cycle.. in the animal world…
(This photo is part of my submission for a creative collaborative photo project brought to you by Nick Mayo, author of Nick Exposed . Check out his site to see the full gallery of submissions! There are so many great photos to enjoy, so enjoy!)
Roses are blooming early around here..
Normally, I don’t see this until we are part of the way into summer… will have to try to enjoy them while they last!

Have a great Mother’s Day weekend!
Nothing too fancy today, or terribly artistic, but definitely special! Lucy wanted to wish all the Mother’s out there happy mother’s day! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend with friends and family! (oh and for this weekend, let someone else do the grocery shopping!) 🙂
Revisiting that cloudy sunset…
Love the pelicans down on the Gulf coast of Florida, Long Boat Key to be exact. Love watching them dive for fish, especially at sunset. These two were on the hunt!
Stop…
Walking around the neighborhood, I always see this sign. Just an average stop sign. Someone decided to use it to spread a message. While I agree with their idea, I’m not thrilled with their methods… The other excitement in this photo is the sky. The clouds were moving so fast with beautiful blue sky in between them. By the time I walked around this block, the clouds had changed to a sea of grey, no more blue..Always amazed at how quick the clouds change….
