Veggie Shopping

After work today I went to the Farmers Market in Jacksonville to pick up some veggies. This market is all about business. Nothing crafty going on here. Don't even think about it. So, I suppose it is a good thing I was in the market for a few veggies. My haul? Potatoes, 2 bunches of asparagus, several cloves of garlic, a bag of onions, and 2 bunches of bananas.

This first picture pretty much sums up the neighborhood I have to go through to get to the market. You have to be a die-hard farmer's market shopper to go to this one.

Divorce...a bargain

Reflections in Jacksonville

I have made a discovery. Jacksonville is the city of reflections. And this post will prove my point. But, this post is gonna be a long one...so grab a cup of coffee and get enjoy!

The images on this post was taken on a photowalk I took with a Jacksonville Flickr group. We met at the tram and wiggled around the downtown area. Here are the images...mostly in order.

Hang on...here come the reflections. These are all buildings in Jacksonville. The most reflective city in the world! Some may say I took it too far. Some may say done so soon? For the latter, look at all the reflections!!

self reflection

Not all buildings were all glass and sparkly. There were some that were down right grungy.

Urban Acid

They tried to distract me with balloons...but I saw the grunge

And, finally, I took advantage of all the window reflections for little self portraits with my new Tracy Joy bag! BTW, if anyone sees this and buys a bag from her, mention me...I'll get some bonus points. Or brownie points.

Cough...hack...

Had a three day weekend which evolved into a four day weekend because I came down sick. So, needless to say, trips out were nonexistent. I did take a few macro shots yesterday that I put on Sharondipity Photography, and today we took a quick trip for coffee. One the way home we stopped at Mandarin Park. Here's my offering.

Pink flowers

Rather swampy

After Fay

We survived. Actually we were quite lucky. Lots of wind damage and flooding. But today we ventured out. Not far. I had an eye appointment, and we ate at the Olive Garden. Less than exciting all around. But I did get a couple of pics before we scurried back home.

Out of focus...but I love the dreaminess of it

Lizard on White

The lizard sat on the hood of our truck while I was in TJ Maxx. Kept D occupied while I shopped. I had to take a pic then rescue him before we started the truck. I managed to shuffle him onto a piece of cardboard and then release him on a near by bushy area.
