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: "H" is for Hemming Plaza

ABC Wednesday this week brings us a view of downtown Jacksonville and Hemming Plaza, with the Federal Courthouse on the side (with the blue windows).  In the middle we find a fountain and a monument to Jacksonville's soldiers that fought in the American Civil War from 1861-1865.  These shots were taken from the 5th floor of a building on the east side of the plaza that houses the Main Branch of the Jacksonville Public Library and the Museum of Contemporary Art (where a photo of our kitten currently hangs on exhibit!  See previous posts for more about that. :)  )

Sky Watch Friday

If you are ever in downtown Jacksonville, FL look up and search the skies for... a U-Haul moving truck!?  

Yes, they have an office downtown and there is a U-Haul on the roof of the multi-story building...
