SoCS -Picture Me Happy

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “photograph.” Use it as a noun or a verb or both. Have fun! 

Ok, just following Linda’s orders this morning as I attempt the SOCS prompt for today.

I have the proof that we had a fine day with my sister Barb and her hubby Frank at Juno Beach! Yesterday was the warmest day of the week so far, and they finally had a Friday off!! We weren’t about to waste that precious time together, so she suggested a beach day and I wholeheartedly agreed!

After a fun day at the beach (I didn’t get in the water by the way, too cold, too rough, and saw too many man-o-war) Barb wanted to take us to Blue Pointe Bar and Grill. It’s a cool beach club with a live band and a heated swimming pool! Great food (except the oysters), dance floor, and -as it turned out-super breezy off the bay dining. No way we’re we getting in the pool when we needed a sweater to fight the chilly air before they lowered the see-through plastic panels.

The singer was pretty good and he was to be followed by a live band-turned out it was one we’ve seen before at our resort’s clubhouse -Hurricane Breeze, but we left before the band because it was time to get back and feed our fur babies.

I REALLY wanted a souvenir shirt with logo Tropically Impaired, but they didn’t have my size. I’m to go back at the beginning of the week if I want to snag one.


This morning we woke to the loud squawking of a great heron who was roaming around the park. Not sure if he was lost or injured, he walked up and down the park streets, making his weird sounding call. I should have recorded it, but I did get his photograph!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get close enough to see his plumage clearly.

Any time I’m this close to a beautiful bird, I have to get a photo! People were tossing bread to him, but that is not what you’re supposed to do. Do not feed the wildlife signs are everywhere in Florida. Ugh, people!

  1. Great job with the prompts. Maybe the heron was saying “pay no attention to those signs.”

    1. I goofed there, Dan. He is actually a Sandhill Crane. The Heron was in the beach picture at Blue Pointe. Forgive me!

    1. Wow, that’s an old post! You must be playing catchup! But yes, we did have a good day at the beach! The pool was warm when cloudy and cold when sunny which seemed weird to me, but was good therapy for my back. I miss it here in Texas. It doesn’t get warm enough to swim until June!
