Elephant Woman

I felt weird enough just taking a picture of this huge banner at the carnival; I sure didn’t feel like going inside…

Although I might have been interested in finding the person responsible for the random apostrophes on Olga’s banner.

It looks like the most prolific crop on this farm is that pump jack down there on the horizon.

Preparations for the weekend

110714

There was going to be some sort of event in the park – the city crews spent the better part of the week getting the tents set up. I overheard a couple discussing it – the man said, “I think it’s the food festival.” and the woman said, “Oh! That can be our adventure this weekend.” That little scrap of their conversation made me smile and I hope they did enjoy it.

Hotel Lobby

Florida’s not JUST parking garage vents; it’s also got hotel lobbies. This one is in the Vinoy Renaissance. It was a grand hotel in the 1920s, then fell into disrepair before being redone. Among nice things at the Vinoy is a wide, shady front porch with rocking chairs and a view of a park and the bay. There’s a very good possibility that I’ve spent my fair share of time on the porch…

Louvers

What do you think is wrong with me?*

I go to Florida, stay in a lovely hotel by the bay, and take a picture of the ventilation louvers from the parking garage?!?
