ButterflyThis little guy wouldn't stop moving for a second! He flitted about as I tried to capture a photo and this was the best I got.

July 16 SunsetA large cloud bank was on the horizon which always makes for a more dramatic sunset.

Space Shuttle LaunchThere's no way to capture this properly from so far away - but this is the space shuttle going up on July 15! It took off just after 6pm. I'm on the opposite coast of FL.....but we are able to see some launches - but usually only night ones. I recalled the flight path from the last night launch so at least I had an idea of where to look in the sky. It took me a few seconds, but finally spotted it as it darted in and out of the clouds. Very cool!

GAH! Snails!!Okay, every night so far this week, the snails that live somewhere have come out of their hiding places and onto our brick driveway. There are SO MANY of them. Need to google why....they probably go for higher ground when there's flooding but what do I know...........................

My Favorite LunchThe best thing you can do if you want to eat healthy? Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take a package of chicken breasts, remove the tenderloins (and save if you'd like), and place in a small sheet pan. I give each breast a good swipe of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, plus a special seasoning I buy at Whole Foods called Borsari.
Cook the chicken for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely, then store in the fridge.
I cut up a vine-ripened tomato into small pieces, then add some extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Let sit for a little while. If you have access to fresh basil -grab a few leaves, roll up into a chiffonade, a slice with a good knife.
Slice the chicken. To a plate add several handfuls of organic greens, the chicken, sliced avocado, sliced fresh mozzarella, and then the tomato/olive oil mixture and combine well. Sprinkle the chiffonade of basil over all. Yum!
TIP: Baking the chicken breasts instead of poaching them helps to keep them from drying out.

RainLost one day of tennis camp....rats. Not that you could tell, but that's the Gulf of Mexico directly across from this intersection............who can see anything in sheets of rain?
June 26
Rough GulfNormally the Gulf of Mexico is very tranquil - hardly ever a wave in site. But once we're in that southwest flow.......the wind really whips up and therefore the waves, too. But, crap, it is sooooo humid. :(

AccidentI've seen a couple of pretty bad accidents in the last couple of days. I couldn't quite figure out what happened here, but it didn't look good.

He's BaaaackNow I'm getting stalked from the first floor instead of the ground level! I was inside eating lunch. Yeah, he got a morsel of turkey from me. (Like I need to wonder why I'm getting stalked?)

Excuse Me??This egret (the one that is ALWAYS hanging around), decided it would be okay to walk into my garage and look for me.
June 15
SeagrapesYep, there's a reason they have this name. And now they're all over the boardwalk, sidewalk, etc.
