walk about the Vieux Carré ...

Pedesclaux-Lemonnier House  640  Royal  at  St.  Peter  Street  French  Quarter  New   Orleans,   La. … A  walk about  in the Quarter   always  leads  me  to  the 'skyscraper' more  formerly  known as  the  Pedesclaux-Lemonnier  House. … Construction began in 1796   but  wasn't  completed until  1811. … Today the  property  is  on  the endangered  historic  landmarks  list. .. A  few  signs that  some  restoration is in progress.   the  property  has a construction  wall  and  scaffolding  in  place.

Gator time ....

Gator Lake  Alice  UF  campus   Gainesville,  Florida ... one  of   my  favorite  gator  shots.  he  was  so  close  I  used  the   prime  lens and  not  the  zoom. ... with  no  sweat  glands,  the  gator  'thermo-regulates'   by  opening  his  mouth.

Madison  Blue  Springs ... a  lot  of  changes  at  the 'blue'   since  the  state  added  the  springs   to  the  Florida  State  Park  system ... back  in  my  teens   there  were  no  wooden  platforms,   steps, gravel  roads or marked  parking  areas ...  through  all  the  changes Blue  Springs  has  remained the place you want to be  on a warm summer day.
