Nature’s Battles

Last week we celebrated the arrival of some chicks in our wren house. This week a totally different scene. Nature’s battles.

I see you. Wren in the house.

Not what you want to see coming out of your birdhouse.

Yellow rat snake plays its part in the circle of life. Maybe a hawk will find the snake.

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Welcome to Fernandina Beach, now go home!

Signs of the times. All of the beaches on Amelia Island are now closed to humans. More than likely a good thing as few were complying with the government request to practice social distancing. This is one of our busiest times of the year with Spring Breakers, tourists, and folks from nearby Georgia, but we all must do what we can to stop the spread of COVID-19. Stay safe wherever you are! C&C ^.^

Lots of signs and seagulls – no people.

Thanks for stopping by and y’all stay well.

Happy SUNday! – Classic Disney

How many millions have cruised on these boats?

Jungle Cruise

One of my favorite images from our many trips to The Magic Kingdom. We used to refer to the castle as ‘Cindy’s House’.

Cindy's House

Seldom seen view of Cindy’s house. Where did all the people go?

Cocoa Beach F.D. – Me and my favorite truck 1972. Taken with a Yashica TL Electro X on Kodak Ektachrome.

While attending college at nearby Hydrospace Technical Institute (H.T.I.) which was the oceanographic tech school of the Florida Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) I was able to train as a volunteer firefighter with the Cocoa Beach Fire Department, Florida. It was an extremely enjoyable time in my life – 18 years old, SCUBA diving and surfing almost every day and studying a subject I was interested in. I appreciated the time the professional firefighters took to train us and I think they enjoyed the interaction with those hippie boys from school. By the way, the locals referred to H.T.I. as the “Hippie Training Institute”.
