Harvest Moon

2013 Autumn Update

Harvest Moon September 2013

Drang nach Süden

 

I finally get to go to Florida

 

 

 

 

After flying down from Raleigh and picking up rental car, I meet Steve in parking lot at Fairchild Tropical Gardens.

 



Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, I presume....

 

 

The next day finally back in the Keys:

 

Card Sound Bridge (south side).

 

                                        



           Ah, the sweet smell of salt air once again.                                                    

 

 

But what's this? A goat skull and fresh fruit.

Someone said evidence of a Voodoo or

Santería ceremony right here on the beach.

Imagine that!

 

 

 

WINTER 2012

So it was oddly mild in January. Shirtsleeve weather part of the time. It even looked like flowers and blossoms were going to come out early at one point.

Eventually it got cold again however, so we weren't disappointed.

We even got some snow for a couple of days.

(February 16th, on the way to the feed and grain store.)

 

Red Sky in Morning: the unusual weather persisted for the rest of the winter.

Karen made two trips to Cape Canaveral while I took care of the animals.

By the end of February I was thinking about Florida myself......
