The Daily Pic - A Family of Snails

I recently had quite the snail infestation....eating holes in all of my plants.  As obnoxious as they are, I couldn't help but take a few pictures.  :)

Simple.
Beautiful.

The Daily Pic - A Walk After the Rain

Here in Central Florida we have about one more month before the "rainy" season is over.  For some reason, the end of a shower or thunderstorm inevitably seems to draw me outside with my camera.  Here are a few pictures that were taken on such a day.

Peering through the leaves of a Bird of Paradise plant.

Raindrops on Orchids.  I love these flowers!

I feel so blessed to live in a place where they bloom year round!

A Maple tree, the leaves of which, are heavy with rain drops.

The delicate shoots of Coleus in bloom.

Reflection in a puddle.

On this particular afternoon, Roman joined me for my walk.

I love how the rain makes everything green again!

Sometimes life is hard...we should take a lesson from this little plant.

Thrive - whatever your circumstances...

even if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place

...or in this instance a brick.

And last, but certainly not least...my favorite picture from this particular day.  Raindrops on a fern.  Why do I like it so much?

I'm not sure, I just know that I do.
