Some "nature" photo's which I lifted from a Tumblr blog
I have no idea as to where and when these photo's were taken. But I like them.

When Turtles Fly
I was chatting the other day with an acquaintance of Cuban origin. He was a bit upset because a friend of mine had been unreasonably "fierce" with him on account of a minor mistake he had made. I explained that my friend is a charming and delightful person, but that from time to time she sees life in black and white terms, with no gray areas, I said "think of your Cuban Grandmother". He grinned and said "if she says that Turtles can fly, then Turtles can fly!" Then he gave me the thumbs up. I think that I had ameliorated his distress.
Who did this whilst I slept?
Was it my dog "Saint Penne of Sarasota"? Not a chance. Was it my cats Ada and Adelaide, reminding me of who is in charge at Chez Povey, You betcha,
Who will be next?

Truth can be stranger than fiction - OR - what a coincidence!
Saturday 7th May 2015 saw me at the lovely Field Club is Sarasota for a terrific celebration of the 80th birthday of Meade Ferguson. She is one of my favourite St. Boniface, Siesta Key, Sarasota Fl parishioners. Here's a bit about the history of the Field Club http://www.sarasotahistoryalive.com/history/people/the-field-club/ It is a splendid place right on Little Sarasota Bay. I drove my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe into the parking lot, and set myself alongside a smart Lexus. Then I noticed something which was eerie, odd, wonderful, and amazingly coincidental. This has to be seen to be believed. What are the odds? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meade, and her daughters Ann and Lee
