Haven't Disappeared

Been a few days since I posted anything, but with good reason: my father has been in the hospital and had heart bypass surgery earlier in the week.  I am happy to report that he is doing very well and should be home this weekend.  Needless to say, blogging hasn't been the highest priority in life lately!  

On the bright side he does have a great view of downtown and the river from his current room. :)

ABC Wednesday: "D" is for Dock

Some shots taken at a public dock in Mandarin, FL just outside of Jacksonville, next to Walter Jones Historic Park.

Sailboat on the River

The above was taken at the rear of the Jacksonville Zoo, which abuts to the Trout River, a tributary of the much larger St. Johns River (which drains much of eastern and northern Florida). There is a dock back here where you could actually tie off you boat and then visit the zoo should you wish.

Sky Watch Friday

Since this is our first official foray into Sky Watch Friday, a trio of photos from this evening near the river when the moon was full and low in the twighlight sky... oh for a giant, mack daddy lens and a tripod...
