I took this photo of a snapping turtle last May ( 2010 ) as he was trying to cross a street in my neighborhood. He was at least 18 inches long and determined to get across the street.

Angels Flight - Feb. 12, 2011
When I was in Los Angeles, Ca. in December of 2010, I took this photo after riding the Angels Flight train. It is the shortest train in the world at 298 feet long. It connects Hill and Olive Streets in the Bunker Hill section of downtown Los Angeles. It only cost a quarter to ride it. At the bottom of the train, I visited the large farmer's market.

Frog in Pool - Feb. 11, 2011
I took this photo last August ( 2010 ) at a friend's backyard pool. There was a frog swimming around in the pool that day. I got him out and sat him in the nearby grass. I thought of this photo today because it is so very cold this morning in northern Virginia and I am going to a regional swim meet this afternoon in our area for the local high schools. I want to think warm thoughts.

Kitchen Mermaid - Feb. 7, 2011
A friend gave me this metal mermaid and I loved her so much that she sits in my kitchen. Living in northern Virginia, I need all the warm "vibes" that I can get during the winter months. She perks me up on cold winter days.
