Sometimes Even A Blind Squirrel…Three

Continuing in our newest feature, Even A Blind Squirrel... this picture was something I wasn't expecting. 
 
 
 

Where:  While killing a little time at the 4th of July fireworks show at the Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg, I took this shot of the boats lined up in the Bay to see the show.

What Happened:  The overcast skies and lights from the boast created what I think is a mesmerizing picture.  There was little thought taken of its composition, more a just a quick snap of the camera to get a picture of the boats. 

When I got home and took a look it far exceeded my expectations.  I can't say there was much thought hope going into it, in fact I'm pretty sure I had the camera on "auto", so there was very little concern regarding exposure or shutter speeds.  Just a throw-away picture of the boats which turned into a very dynamic and pleasing.  Proof, once again, that Even a Blind Squirrel...

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.   

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
