Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I was last here! I guess I've been pretty busy...
School's out. Student tally is done. 1,943 students for this school year. Not bad. That's 1,943 young people who have heard about water pollution and how to prevent it here in sunny South Florida!
The sky is blue all the time, but it's a different shade of blue at different times of day. I managed to catch this little shot on my way to work the other morning. I had stopped to photograph the Royal Poinciannas along 10th Avenue in Oakland Park and the sky was as beautiful as the trees, which are really spectacular this year! Here's what the camera and I saw:
10th Avenue, north of Oakland Park Boulevard, west of Dixie Highway.
Ninth Avenue in Wilton Manors, near the Island City Park Preserve.
We experienced a prolonged and cold winter this year and I find myself wondering if that's why the blooming trees have been so spectacular. The tabibeua were something to see when they bloomed in late April and early May (which is late for them to bloom) and now the Royal Poincianna's are just amazing to behold. The reds are vibrant and, early in the morning, they shimmer in the sun. Only Mother Nature could've come up with something like this!
