"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

Image
 I decided to share some of my photos and information about Brevard Zoo. As a Member, I attend a lot. When it is summer hot and very humid, I can leave after an hour and not feel guilty. I love the Zoo and plan to stay a Member, although I have gotten some emails saying they are changing the Membership some by the end of the year. Sometimes, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, and sometimes you can show it in photographs. The Ring-tailed Lemurs have moved to the island where the Siamang Gibbons use to be at the antrance to Expedition Africa.. At first, they were keeping themselves hidden, but now they all are out and about. They are even climbing the trees. George the Okapi munching on breakfast in the Africa loop. Sharing space with the Okapi are the Klipspringers. They have been a happy family with many kids being produced through the years. Always one of my favorites. There are a few generations of Zebras on the Africa Loop. I think they currently have five or six zebras. The ma...

Digital Hoarding XIX

 Here are two dozen more photos from my digital hoarding. I am almost out of the ones I wanted to share, but more are getting added all the time. Birds by Friends Some bird photographs from a few of my Facebook friends.  The first two I grabbed were from my friend Tim who lives in Montana. Always an avid hunter, he shoots most of his birds now with a camera. The next one was taken by Malcom Denemark, a photographer for the Florida today. I met him a few times at the turtle releases and we started to chat and since have become friends. This shot was of Spike, the surfing parrot. It was taken at the Surfing Santa celebration near Christmas time in Cocoa Beach. The last photo is of a seagull chasing an eagle, taken by Jeff Litton in Alaska. I met Jeff on my Galapagos cruise with National Geographic where he was one of the guest professional photographers. Personal Self-portrait at Lou's Blues. That is not my regular drinking hand... Self portrait of my latest "Life is Good" ...

"Drive My Car"

Image
 No real theme to this post but I wanted to share a few things. Not one of them is how to Drive My Car . Champlain Bridge First, I like to use my Photography folders as the source of my backgrounds on my computer. Recently, I have been going through  the Nature-Parks folder which included the folder "NY - Crown Point - State Historic Site". There were photos of the Champlain Bridge both before and after the rebuilding. I found that interesting and wanted to document.  I took this photo of the old bridge in 1989 from my brother Tom's boat. In 2007 I flew to Vermont for a vacation and I took this photo of the bridge from my window seat. I am over New York looking East. The left of the bridge is at Chimney Point in Vermont and the right of the bridge is at Crown Pont in New York. Interesting is that I saw today on Facebook they have found the basement of the house whose chimney the point is named after. Hopefully this link will get you to the story... Chimney Point I had rea...
