The Trials of Life

I have to say that I’m more than fed up with the Zimmerman trial at this point.  Armchair lawyers abound and I always get the impression with it all that lady justice who’s supposed to be blind has been replaced by social justice…who is ever mindful of politics and seems to have both eyes wide open.  I don’t see a positive outcome on this thing either way.  We are preparing to go to a mountain cabin for a few days.  I relish the thought of it.  The heat here is quite high again…maybe the mountains will bring relief on more than one level.  I still want to show some pictures of our trip to Florida.  Visiting some neighborhoods there was so different then what I see in my home stomping grounds.  We have our share of old trees but none of the type I saw there.  Can you imagine having a cool glass of lemonade and swinging on this swing for a bit?  Even the stop signs have a personality so different from ours.  One area had a phone booth reminding me forcefully of England but then there was a palm tree there…strange.  We spent some time in a store my wife wanted to visit.  I think Lovely could have put some of these things to some great use with her various craft projects.  How about a key to hang your keys on?  We spent a little time by this great fountain before moving on.  I’ve got to say I love St. Petersburg!  Next we stopped for a bit at a nice park.  Again I’m struck by how different it is from where we live.  We do have squirrels however but I still like them no matter where I see them.  Here in Montana we have to watch for bears or mountain lions…Florida…well, that’s different too.  Did I mention how much I love palms.  Here’s a panorama of the park.  Last picture of the day:  .  Next I will show some pictures of a great flea market we visited…stay tuned!
