In Case You Were Wondering...

This is where we live! You can see our apartment on the lower right-that is our sun room, though we use it as an office...a sunny office! This complex is one of two that are owned by the same person. They live in the same building as us and are rather nice folks.

A shot of the duckpond, though honestly I think they should call it a turtle pond. They seem to enjoy it more than the ducks do, though I do occasionally seem them going for a swim, or taking a nap under the trees.

One of the grilling areas around the property...rather park like, no? You can see the pond fountain in the background as well as some floating metal sculpture. These things are all over the place...they festoon the pool decks, fence posts, and even the electrical service boxes. One of the owners must also be an artist. I find them truly random and will have to get more pictures of them.

One of the things I have really been enjoying down here are the coastal skies. On any given day you can see every type of cloud you could find in a meteorological textbook, and usually see them at the same time. Later that day there were the gigantic thunderheads that you could see coming, all full of dark colors with lighting streaking through them and the sheets of rain you could see in the distance. You don't always get a chance to see them like that in the mainland.
I took this picture on a trip out to the mall for Memorial Day, you can also see one of the marsh rivers that eventually empty in the ocean. There are a ton of them around here which help make up the 10 or so islands around the area. I have visited 3 of them, so just a few more to go!

Fletcher has started looking out his window now and I think he is enjoying the clouds, trees, moss, birds, and military planes. When we are out driving I often find him gazing out his window intently...a feat that I could not hope to duplicate without becoming ill quickly from going backwards.
