Worked in the front yard this morning before football got going. Had a few Ospreys circling around. One landed in a tall Norfolk Island Pine across the street. Not ideal because of all the full branches so not really an ideal "perch".

That tall dead palm trunk I had in my front yard was really great for them until it dropped.

Not only are they gorgeous birds...their very distinctive call is just amazing! What graceful and beautiful raptors!

Driving south on Riverside Drive this afternoon. This fairly new home's landscaping has some palms that I like A LOT! - and are not seen/used enough in the area. I have plenty of them at my place of course and have also used them for projects. Native to Australia and are self-pruning "crown-shaft" palms with no armament. What's not to like?

Archontophoenix alexandrae.....commonly known as Alexandria palm, King palm, or Bangalow palm.

Coming over the North Causeway just now.....saw a little blob moving across the road. Truck in front swerved enough to miss, thankfully. I looked in my rear view mirror enough to see it would be safe to stop, put on my flashers, and grabbed the little bloke before he got flattened!

He's got a safe haven now at my place. What a beautiful little creature......

My neighbor was in college and worked as a parking valet in Beverly Hills. Ernest Borgnine was a regular patron of the restaurant my neighbor parked cars. He said Ernest Borgnine always encouraged him to finish school and was a great tipper. When My friend told him he was graduating a couple years later. Ernest Borgnine gave him $200.00 dollars before he went into his car and whispered "I'm proud of you." The day my neighbor found out Ernest Borgnine died, his wife told me he cried. Class act Ernie.

Saw this little guy on Fripp Island and thought of Bazza

Been clearing out Mom's house getting it ready to sell. Took this off the wall of their 3rd bedroom (which they used as an office) today. Was my late step-dads and IIRC was taken from the St John's River near Aster.

Will probably bring it home for sentimental reasons. Hard to get rid of some of this stuff - even through donations.

Happy Fall everyone…

More clearing out work today.....found this hot water bottle in the bathroom closet. Haven't seen one of these in eons!
