"Imperfect Photos"


When I'm out on a hike, I take all the photos I want and then I might delete a few that are out of focus when I get home...but not often! Thanks hubby for sharing some of yours too!


Sometimes the imperfect photos look artsy to me....


unique....


and unusual.


The rain we had last week helped fill the swamps again and there were birds galore on the swamp side at Blue Run Park.


Can you spot the Green Heron perched on the Cypress knee in the photo above? How about the one below?


We saw 4 or 5 Green Herons as well as a host of others.


It's always challenging to get good photos in the summertime.


The birds are hidden behind the grasses and trees.


We saw 6 male Wood ducks together which was unusual. Here's a pic that made it look like these were two headed! lol

Have you had a chance to get out and enjoy nature this week? 


(I won't say what makes the one above look unusual...you figure it out! ROFL!!!)

We're taking advantage of the cooler mornings to get out early. Which means I drink iced coffee AFTER the hike instead of a cup before walking for 2 hours with a swamp on one side and the river on the other!

A Coffee drink and a WINNER!

When we stopped at the mall to get a cold drink....

and I ended up getting my ears pierced,

I bought a cold coffee drink at the coffee shop!

SUGAR FREE...caffeine free...GUILT FREE!

So the next time I was in Walmart, I looked for the ingredients to make one at home!

The Torani Sugar Free Chocolate syrup has Splenda and the recipe for a Chocolate Chill was on the side of the bottle. I found it on the bottom shelf below the Coffee Mate at Walmart.

Chocolate Chill

2 Tbsp Chocolate syrup

3/4 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled

1/4 cup milk

1 cup ice

It was TOO sweet for me so I used 1 Tbsp of the syrup the next time and it was perfect! But for the first ‘go round’ I decided to follow the recipe (very unusual for me! lol )
