Here are the ducks, they are talking and start singing. . .

 . . .then they start bobbing their heads, singing and dancing.

 This is so adorable.

 They finish and leave. Amazingly talented. . .

 One duck is sitting on the fence. . .I catch her as she starts to fly. . .

A great welcome home party.  We were so glad to finally all be able to get together. The ducks were a fantastic addition to the day.

Blessings,

Janet

My precious family from so long ago. Only I am left.

These were the days until I was 5 years old.

Every Sunday someone would drop in and grandma was always prepared.

Daddy took the picture.

Clouds, Ducks, new bird and Fog

First light. . .

 New Bird on pipe, barely seen in first light.

Love to see the reflections in the water.

 Better sunrise. Love to see the sun bouncing off the tips of the clouds.

 Here they come for breakfast, all except one!!

 There are 5. . . .

 . . .he wasn't interested in joining the others, so I saved a bit for him.

 You can see the distance between them.

 If there are NO bread crumbs, the Egrets do NOT eat duck food.

 Snail, sorry for the close up, a bit blurry. It's on the pipe shown before.

 Foggy morning.

 The pink of the cloud is shown in the water below.

Blessings,
Janet

Moon and Clouds, Sunrise, Ducks, Windy at Canal

 Moon this morning at 65 percent full

Sunrise

 One lone duck, but hungry, so she did get some food.

She is in the dark, I had to add contrast for you to see her.

 Ok, looks like Sunrise may be happening!

Sunday night Decorations

 Hoffman Chocolates Train

 Hoffman Nativity

 Hoffman Nativity with Camel

Hoffman Mr. & Mrs. Claus

 Ohio Streets. . . .the house that is featured on the news.

 Fantastically decorated with music and moving parts.

 Picture no. 3

Snoopy on top of the mailbox at another house.

 We always have alligators in So. FL and Peacocks and

Lavender angels.

 Ferris wheels and. . . . .so much to see everywhere.

 Santa in the helicopter high above. . .and a plane just below that.

 A pair of perfectly lit Palm Tree clusters. 

Every year when my husband was alive we would take the children Christmas decoration site seeing. When he passed in 2001 my daughter, grandson and I have carried on the tradition, usually on Christmas Eve.  The last several years it has rained and been horrendous. This is the first year we finally changed the timing and went to Hoffman's to see their decorations, then to the subdivision you see above.  It was fun and exciting to relive those times again.  Something to be said for Traditions and great Memories.
Blessings,
Janet
