palm trees and beaches

This REALLY is Gator country. . .

Reminder to self:

DO NOT LEAVE FRONT DOOR OPEN FOR ANY REASON  Gator visitin'? ( click me )

Yikes.

Frogs vs. Lizards

What's with the people of Tampa afraid of a little frog? Most people I talk to just love the creepin' icky lizards but they have a strong dislike for a frog or toad.

I tell ya - we'd rather have a frog in our house ( and we have had one ) than a lizard or any other creepy thing that they have down here.

What are they? Crazy?

Toadstools the size of...

I half expected an ooompa loompa to come charging out and raising it's little fist at me. These toadstools are huge!!

If only I had my camera

Okay - so I was picking up a birthday card tonight and the gal at the register had little diamonds on her eyelashes.  I'm SO not kidding.  They had to be fake eyelashes - that's all I can figure.

Even if I did have my camera - it would be a little bizarre to snap a picture . But believe me - I'd be tempted to!

The things we see in Tampa. Oh me, oh my.
