Everything good in life starts with a solid foundation.

November 2011. Taken during a rough period in my life both physically and mentally.

A walk in the woods is a good place to get your head on straight.

My garden fence.
Almost ten years ago now. Where does it go?

Thank you for stopping by – wishing you inner happiness and a peaceful day.

My one quarter Irish ancestry wishes all a very Happy St. Paddy’s Day! My roots… Irish, Scottish, German, Slovakian, and Long Island!

Vultures at the drive-thru!?

There’s fast food and then there’s buzzard food. These guys were hanging out at the dumpster at the local Burger King drive-thru. They look hungry.

Buzzards hanging at the dumpster. Must be something “good” in there.
Takin’ a break from dumpster diving.

Right after we placed our order at the drive-thru we noticed a few other local customers enjoying the dollar menu.

Florida Cottonmouth (water moccasin)

Chris and Carol 3 Comments
The water moccasin is a common visitor in our backyard habitat. This one was about three feet long which puts it in the average size class.

It’s a pretty but very deadly snake and in the nearly thirty years I’ve lived here I’ve seen about a dozen. Lately I’ve seen more as my backyard forest and wetlands have matured.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful and safe day! – Chris
