~Clean~ Photo Hunt

This weeks photo hunt is ~CLEAN~ so here is my "clean" photo...I really should say this is getting clean!

Tucker never did like getting "clean", but he sure did like getting dirty! The way he acted you'd think it was a punishment!

Otherwise he loved the water, he'd jump in the pool in a heartbeat! He even liked walkng in the rain.

He was so hairy this was the best way to getting him "CLEAN"

His favorite part of getting "clean" was the rub down afterwards! Now he's happy!

Ringling Bridge at Sunset

I know it has been awhile since I've posted but I wanted to get back in there. I wanted to come back and join in Sky Watch Friday.
These were taken at Sarasota Bay Front Park, right during sunset. The Ringling Bridge in the background connects the mainland to Bird Key, St Armand's Circle and Longboat Key.



It seems every photo I took gave me another look.



I tried to get closer, and closer it was such a beautiful sky...



Clouds always make for an interesting sunset...



I am sharing it with Sky Watch Friday check it out to see skies from around the planet!

FRESH - Saturday Photo Hunt

What is more "fresh" than a daisy? A field of daisies?!!

This is joining the Saturday Photo Hunt "FRESH"

SPICY - Saturday Photo Hunt

Here is my post for today's Photo Hunt - SPICY!
I am trying to get back in the swing of things and start posting to Saturday Photo Hunt. I don't have an updated list on what's to come...so I just check in on Saturday to see what is then start hunting!

I knew I had something for "spicy" the problem is always narrowing it down to one, so sometimes...okay often I post more. I have here "spicy" lentils with some "spicy" sausage, and you can see the "spicy" chili peppers.



I used my Indian spice box that hold my "spicy" Indian spices...what could be better?

Photo Hunt _ HIGH

I have many photos that I could use for today's Photo hunt - HIGH. I often look up and take many photos that way, but I narrowed it down a little.
The Tampa Bay Rays play in Tropicana Field. It has a "HIGH" dome on it so the Rays can hit all those home runs.

Sometimes the ball is hit so "high" it gets lost in the lights...


On the way to the dome or as it is now called the "Trop" we have to drive over a "HIGH" bridge...

The old bridge was too low and a ship hit it and knocked the south bound section down...



The new Sunshine Skyway Bridge is painted bright yellow...

Both north and south bound are together in one bridge now...you can fish off the old section of the bridge that they left standing, as an artificial reef, and two fishing piers on either end.

On a summer day it is so hot and hazy...

...unlike this bright blue sky.

Yellow - Photo Hunt

For this week Photo Hunt it is "YELLOW" and I have a lot of yellow to show you! Since I couldn't decide you get to see a variety of "yellow" and I guess you could say that it is one of my favorite colors, so here they come....

The umbrellas at one of our favorite seaside eateries are now yellow, they used to be purple. Yellow looks much better.

The farmers market is full of color, this was the first time that I really noticed patty pan squash...


...and when you think of yellow don't sunflowers come to mind often? Sunflower and the sun!

This patty pan squash ended up in my pan and it was pretty good!


Our school or I should say the elementary school that I work at was lucky enough to get a Jorge Blanco sculpture "Cartwheel" as a permanent installation in the courtyard.

The school was the last of it's kind to be built in Sarasota and has won awards for it's design. When visitors come they are always delighted with it's look and the bright colors would make any one smile. This is the "yellow" wing, of the four color wing the school has.

My little pineapple was completely "yellow" when I picked it, and it was the best tasting...pineapple sweet off the vine!


On Anna Maria Island we enjoyed a walk amongst the colorful buildings on our way to our anniversary dinner out. Another colorful place that just makes you smile when you see it.


Lemon poppy seed cookies just needed the yellow plumeria to make it a perfect plate of cookies.

...and this plate of fried plantains are more of a golden yellow! Just the way I like them.


The Sunshine Skyway Bridge now has a fresh coat of "yellow" paint. It took them quite awhile to get it finished...



...I sure wouldn't want that job, I can't imagine how the do it!



The "yellow" life guard stand at Siesta Beach is one of the brightest of the stands...the others are painted way to dark in my opinion.


Good to know he is ready and watching to save the troubled swimmer, just look at those waves out there in the Gulf :) Well maybe not today, it looks like a perfect day for swimming. I better get out there before it gets too crowded on this beautiful Saturday!

This lonely "yellow" flower popped up at the entrance to Turtle Beach I just had to grab a shot!

Enjoy your weekend!
