Roseate Spoonbill Chat

Roseate Spoonbill

I am sitting at my desk speaking with the representative from Fitbit about a malfunctioning alta device and I happened to look up into the gaze of a Roseate Spoonbill.
If you have not seen these beautiful birds up close, they are a gorgeous pink and white color, with a long bill that is shaped like a spoon at the end. They have a similar neck to a heron with the long s curve and probably a similar size to a medium blue .

Irma's Gifts

Today, as I am sitting in the beautiful, hot calmmess of Central Flroida, I am wondering about how information comes to us. In the past, I have felt that I must be the originator of the idea or I could not claim to speak about it. without referring to them.  Things have changed.

Hurricane Irma and blowing her away

The Eye of GOD

During the past two days, I have gone through so many feelings due to  the excessive and frightenting coverage of this hurricane. I survived well through Sandy in 2013 while living in NJ but  here in Florida, it  feels that there is deeper sense of catastrophe and doom. Certainly,  Floridians have  a much deeper and more profound connection to  big weather.   On Tuesday, much of the bottled  water and automobile gas in many stores and stations  was completely depleted in Sarasota. The constant topic of conversations was the storm and I was left feeling quite sad,anxious and uncertain.

I did my due dilligence of getting the necessary water, food, candles and other supplies needed but still felt that there was more to do.
