A Day In Pictures

We headed out a little earlier than usual for our walk and got to see the sunrise, a few more clouds would have made for a more interesting photo but this is still beautiful.

Mama and babies were fending off an alligator about 5 feet away, she was just quack, quack, quacking away and the gator finally turned around and headed to the other side of the pond.

We walked out to the point by the kids playground and saw all sorts of things. This limpkin was just hanging out on one of the light poles.

Not sure if these are moorhens or what but they had three babies, the black ball in front of them is one baby.

After our walk we went to Sonic and who is pulling in as we are leaving but Tammy, Tom, and Luke. So we drive back around and talk to them for a bit and decide to head over to their house after we stop by ours to pick up some stuff.

Looked at a bunch of Tammy's pictures and heard all about the trip. Sure sounds like fun and we wish we had been along for the ride. We now know this is definitely on our list of cruises to take.

Then we headed over to Andy and Nikki's. I hadn't taken many pictures of Nikki pregnant this time and I wanted to get a few. Plus I took some of Andy and Nikki with Riley. Our main purpose for going over was to help Andy with a surprise he had planned for Nikki. She was going out with Ashley for the afternoon. And this is what we did:

Went to Home Depot and got some flowers, dirt, and mulch and started a little garden in their entry way. It looks really good and there is room to expand when we see what does well in that area.

When we were all done and driving away, I looked in the rear-view mirror and this is what I saw on the side of the car. So I had to stop and get a picture. It was very beautiful, some kind of dragonfly. Looked kind of like a tiger.

Once we got home watched the race and for the second day in a row it was a pretty exciting race with ending you didn't see coming.

Now the trivia for the day. What happened over the course of the summer ten years ago?

Can you believe it has been that long since Mark Macguire and Sammy Sosa had those record homerun seasons. That was one of the most exciting seasons in baseball I can remember. Of course the Red Sox winning two World Series was pretty exciting too.
