A Meal to Remember

While in Key West, I ordered an Asian  Sesame Tuna appetizer. I really had no idea what to expect, but I was dying for some delicious fresh seafood. Imagine my delight when they put this down on the table in front of me! Not only was it gorgeous, but it was unbelievably delicious! Dante's in Key West - the absolute BEST food on the island!!!!

Summer Flooding

These are pictures I took of the parking lot of the A&P food store and TJ Maxx shopping plaza after the flooding began to recede. The stores were devastated when the water crashed through their doors and washed their products out the back loading area. All the products inside the stores were ruined - 6 feet of water engulfed shelves & destroyed everything. The anchor stores in this plaza have all been gutted, most likely not to return business there.

 

 

 

After the waters receded.

This is the back parking lot.

There were shoes everywhere. Most of which still had anti-theft tags still stuck to them. My assumption is that TJ Maxx's shoe department was in the back and the loose products floated right out the back doors. It was a shoe graveyard back there!

The main parking lot was barely navigable, and shopping carts were strewn hundreds of feet around the plaza.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Its not a chicken. Its a rooster. Duhhh.

...and if you're wondering, he was crossing the road to get away from the crazy lady chasing him with a camera.

October is HERE!

Time to get creepy... ;)

Stadium

A hint of life in a dying football stadium.

Rainy Day Mountain Biking

It was hot, humid, and the sky looked about to rip open and pour. Perfect day for mountain biking! Wrapped my camera in a plastic bag and headed down one of the most treacherous trails I've biked down. We were alongside the fish hatchery on an old railroad bed. There were swamps one side, and Delaware river tributaries on the other. It was awesome! Such a fun day.

I'm still going through the pictures, but here is my favorite of the set :)

Jack in the Pulpit! A rare site in the woods of NJ/PA!

Captured A Miracle!

Apparently a rainbow in the dark isn't just a Dio song - its an extremely rare phenomenon that I got lucky enough to capture before it disappeared into the night sky! I was going outside to shoot the phenomenal sunset I was witnessing from my dining room window, when I was distracted by the dark sky behind me and the double rainbow the setting sun managed to illuminate - I ended up not taking any pictures of the sunset (sad!) but got some fun rainbow pictures instead (happy!)
