an embarrassment of mangoes

a caribbean interlude by ann vanderhoof

One of the many great things about living here is that mangos grow here. In my opinion mangos are the best fruit on the planet,  and I have an embarrassment of them.

Embarrassment of mangos: collecting as many as you can get; savoring every one;

deep down not wanting to share.

I got back to the Keys late Wednesday night, around 8 pm. I was disappointed because I thought it was too late for photos. However I decided to look for anything interesting I could Photograph.

Turns out , there was lots!!

ocala birds

I just spent 9 days in Ocala. There were plenty of things to do at the house - mow the grass, cleaning, reading and bird watching.
