Once the sun comes up in the French Quarter, part of me dies like a vampire. But there IS STILL a lot of visual interest for me.
A happy group of revelers on their stoop (I'm guessing it's their stoop).
The girl on the right was originally standing up against the railing, and they were all casually talking and drinking. When I approached them and asked if I could take their photo, they pretty much immediately posed like this. Yet I really wanted more of an un-posed candid shot...
cilantro, sweet fennel, chives, and jasmine.
My big jasmine trellis is blooming and the front yard smells heavenly, especially after a rainshower.
At the risk of boring everyone silly (including myself).....
but no, still having fun :)

The "Sanibel Stoop" is the phrase used to describe the position of shellers while collecting their treasured finds.
Billions of shells are washed ashore during the North-Western winter storms making Sanibel one of the best places in the world for shelling.
The charm and irresistible lure of shelling is embodied in the unique names of Sanibel's best-known shells: The Angel Wing, the Banded Tulip, the Lightening Welk and the Rose Petal Tellin.
Even the Cockle shells have descriptive names: Prickly, Strawberry and Egg Cockles.
In late afternoon sunshine yesterday I caught this male Marsh Harrier in flight with legs forward to make a "deposit". This young male is now starting to develop full adult plumage with a lot more white on wings & head changing colour as well
I've always wanted a stoop to call my own. I'd kick it out there all the time with my dog and just watch people go by. Except I won't be afraid to leave my stoop like that coward "stoop kid" on Hey Arnold.

The Peregrine Falcon reaches faster speeds than any other animal on the planet when performing the stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph), hitting one wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_Falcon
