Came to see the Northern Light. Arrived just an hour or two too late. Had to make do with this nice view, illuminated by the (almost) full moon.

The Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) is the only native species of storks found in the United States. It's an endangered species that is at risk of losing it's "Endangered" status because storks have been observed in coastal States near Florida. That might sound like a good thing. But...not so fast.
Seeing Storks in a wider range may make them seem commonplace, but if they become less and less successful at breeding, what does the future hold for them?
The Everglades and other protected areas in Florida are under tremendous environmental pressures, from human encroachment as the population of Florida expands; from agricultural endeavors that divert water and change the quality of the water; from natural disasters; and, from invasive species. So as the Stork goes, maybe so goes the rest.

How to make an ordinary pleated school skirt fashionable for lunch on a Sunday. Wear a nice floral top with it, add a flouncy underskirt with the hem showing below the skirt's hem, and add heels and dark hosiery. I bet not many (if any) of the other diners made a point of thinking I was out in my school skirt ;-)
Skaftafell. Grand, diverse, gorgeous, and so much fun. It’s actually quite hard to describe.
The closest glacier outlet to the Skaftafell entrance is a 15 minute walk. Every minute I walked, the air felt just a bit colder until the sun no longer warmed skin. Layers, they came in handy.
At the base of this outlet glacier, I found rocks, carved and crushed out of the mountains by Vatnajökull and time. It’s hard to imagine the mountains are multiple active volcanoes, and it continues to be hard to imagine an ice cap formed above the mountains. It’s impossible to comprehend how this vast expanse of ice slowly slid down rock and left an earthy scar the size of city blocks in its wake.
Mixed in with the rocks, I found writing on the sandy shore of this outlet’s glacial melt. I found stones, left like offerings, before this awesome sight. These stones were positioned to the delight of their authors. They were positioned to remind each other and the world: we were here too.
This empty lot was the site of the old Woolworth's building in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. It was recently demolished to make way for an apartment complex. Across the street on the right is the historic Saenger Theatre.

Tegann really loves ballet. We take her every Wednesday to "Dance Class" as she calls it. She counts down to "Dance Class" starting every Wednesday night at bedtime!
She's actually a little advanced for her age and was put in an older class this past year.
I'm really hoping we can get her in the local feeder school for the arts. She's really into all of the arts. Visual, musical, and performance...she loves it all.
While your comments are greatly appreciated, your presence is enough reward.
Please do not post awards or banners, leave a comment or a thought instead.
I know you can!

For Jack Russels, there is never enough play time. She was determined to play all by herself, which was equally amusing. I will say there is not a day that goes by that Maya doesn't make us laugh. She is truly a blessing.

This is a Mermaid make up i am doing for the stall i will be on at the International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS), i have always wanted to do a mermaid and make the tail. This tail is made out of latex, it is not complete it laces up down the back of the models legs. So it only covers the front 2/3 of her legs. Grease paints and shimmers and water based body paints were used to highlight and shade her body. This is only the test make up. I will be making fins for her arms, her hair will be fuller and she will be wearing a crown. This character is based on Ariel from DIsneys "The Little Mermaid".
Punta Gorda is a city in Charlotte County, Florida, United States. As of the 2010 census the city had a population of 16,641. It is the county seat of Charlotte County and the only incorporated municipality in the county. Punta Gorda is the principal city of the Punta Gorda, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area and is also in the Sarasota-Bradenton-Punta Gorda Combined Statistical Area.
Punta Gorda was the scene of massive destruction after Charley, a Category 4 hurricane, came through the city on August 13, 2004. Charley was the strongest tropical system to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the first hurricane since Hurricane Donna in 1960 to make a direct hit on Florida's southwest coast. In the immediate years following the storm, buildings were restored or built to hurricane-resistant building codes. The new buildings, restorations and amenities concurrently preserved the city's past while showcasing newer facilities. During this time, Laishley Park Municipal Marina was built and the Harborwalk, Linear Park and various trails were created throughout the city for bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
The name Punta Gorda ("Fat Point") has been on maps at least since 1851, referring to a point of land that juts into Charlotte Harbor, an estuary off the Gulf of Mexico. It was in the late 1800s that early settlers began to arrive in what is the present-day Punta Gorda area.
Frederick and Jarvis Howard, Union Army veterans, homesteaded an area south of the Peace River near present-day Punta Gorda about a decade after the close of the Civil War. In 1876, James and Josephine Lockhart bought land and built a house on property which is now at the center of the city. Approximately two years later Lockhart sold his claim to James Madison Lanier, a hunter and trapper.
In 1879, a charter for a railroad with termini at Charlotte Harbor and Lake City, Florida was established under the name Gainesville, Ocala, and Charlotte Harbor Railroad. It was taken over by the Florida Southern Railroad, which reaffirmed Charlotte Harbor as a terminus in its own charter. Lanier with his wife lived there until 1883, when 30.8 acres (12.5 ha) were sold to Isaac Trabue, who purchased additional land along the harbor and directed the platting of a town (by Kelly B. Harvey) named "Trabue". Harvey recorded the plat on February 24, 1885. At the time, Isaac was in Kentucky, and his cousin, John Trabue, was in charge of selling lots. Kelly, a native of the Peace River area, started referring to the new town as Punta Gorda. He later explained that the Spaniards called the area Punta Gorda, and local businesses included Punta gorda within their companies' names.
Less than ten years after the first settlements in the area, railroads rolled into the town of Trabue in June 1886, and with them came the first land developers and Southwest Florida's first batch of tourists. Punta Gorda became the southernmost stop on the Florida Southern Railroad, until an extension was built to Fort Myers in 1904, attracting the industries that propelled its initial growth.
In 1887, twelve years after the first settlers trekked to Charlotte Harbor, 34 met at Hector's Billiard Parlor to discuss incorporation. Once Punta Gorda was officially incorporated, mayoral elections took place and a council was formed. The first mayor, W. H. Simmons, was elected. The new city was renamed Punta Gorda.
Phosphate was discovered on the banks of the Peace River just above Punta Gorda in 1888. Phosphate mined in the Peace River Valley was barged down the Peace River to Punta Gorda and Port Boca Grande, where it was loaded onto vessels for worldwide shipment. In 1896, the Florida Times-Union reported that phosphate mining was Punta Gorda's chief industry and that Punta Gorda was the greatest phosphate shipping point in the world. By 1907, a railroad was built direct to Port Boca Grande, ending the brief phosphate shipping boom from Punta Gorda.
In 1890, the first postmaster, Robert Meacham, an African American, was appointed by Isaac Trabue as a deliberate affront to Kelly B. Harvey and those who had voted to change the name of the town from Trabue to Punta Gorda.
The Punta Gorda Herald was founded by Robert Kirby Seward in 1893 and published weekly during its early years.The newspaper covered such events as rum running, other smuggling activities, and lawlessness in general. It underwent many changes in both ownership and name over time, and today is known as The Charlotte Sun Herald.
Early Punta Gorda greatly resembled the modern social climate of various classes living together and working together. While the regal Punta Gorda Hotel, at one point partly owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt, reflected the upper class, Punta Gorda was a pretty rough town, as most frontier towns were. Punta Gorda's location at the end of the railway line spiked the crime rate, resulting in approximately 40 murders between 1890 and 1904. This included City Marshal John H. Bowman, who was shot and killed in his front parlor on January 29, 1903, in view of his family.
In 1925, a bungalow was built by Joseph Blanchard, an African American sea captain and fisherman. The Blanchard House Museum still stands as a museum, providing education for the history of middle-class African American life in the area.
Punta Gorda in the 20th century still maintained steady growth. Charlotte County was formed in 1921 after DeSoto County was split. Also in 1921, the first bridge was constructed connecting Punta Gorda and Charlotte Harbor along the brand-new Tamiami Trail. This small bridge was replaced by the original Barron Collier Bridge in 1931, and then by the current Barron Collier Bridge and Gilchrist Bridge crossing the Peace River.
During World War II, a U.S. Army airfield was built in Punta Gorda to train combat air pilots. After the war, the airfield was turned over to Charlotte County.Today the old airfield is the Punta Gorda Airport, providing both commercial and general aviation.
Punta Gorda's next intense growth phase started in 1959 with the creation of a neighborhood of canal-front home sites, Punta Gorda Isles, by a trio of entrepreneurs, Al Johns, Bud Cole and Sam Burchers. They laid out 55 miles of canals 100 feet wide and 17 feet deep using dredged sand to raise the level of the canal front land. This provided dry home sites with access to the Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. Johns went on to develop several other communities in Punta Gorda, among which were Burnt Store Isles, another waterfront community with golf course, and Seminole Lakes, a golf course community. These communities provided waterfront or golf course homes for retirees with access to a downtown with shopping, restaurants, and parks.
In the early 1980s at the site of the old Maud Street Fishing Docks, a new shopping, restaurant and marina complex, Fishermen's Village, was constructed that continues to be one of Southwest Florida's primary attractions.
In 2004, a major hurricane, Hurricane Charley, moved through Punta Gorda, damaging many buildings, but also creating an opportunity for revitalization of both the historic downtown and the waterfront. During the first part of the twenty-first century, Punta Gorda has continued to grow and improve, adding a new Harborwalk which continues to expand, a linear park which winds through the city, many new restaurants, and neighborhoods.
A replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated on November 5, 2016. The city also features the Whispering Giant statue, a public art sculpture of the face of a Native American man and a Native American woman.
