Jasmine on Palm trees

Have you ever seen something like this? The palm tree is covered with Jasmine flowers!

Can you imagine how sweet this smells?
Hmmmm..... so fragrant in the spring breeze.

The Countdown of the year - and a Birthday of a wonderful person in my life!

This was the spot where we - David and I - have started this year together and this will be the spot where we will welcome the coming new year tomorrow night.

It will bring us some BIG good changes in our life.
I will tell you about more in a later post - next year. :-)

And today is a special day to celebrate also for us: It's David's Birthday!!!

I LOVE you so much my Darling and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Good Morning - Good Morning to You

Judy Garland - Good Morning lyrics
Artist: Judy Garland



Good mornin', good mornin'!
We've danced the whole night through,
good mornin', good mornin' to you.

Good mornin', good mornin'!
It's great to stay up late,
good mornin', good mornin' to you.

When the band began to play
the sun was shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
it's too late to say goodnight.

So, good mornin', good mornin'!
Sunbeams will soon smile through,
good mornin', my darlin', to you.

Here we are together,
a couple of stand-uppers.
Our day is done, breakfast time
starts with our supper.

Here we are together,
ah, but the best of friends must party.
So let me sing this party song
from the bottom of my hearty.

Good morning, it's a lovely morning.
Good morning, what a wonderful day.
We danced the whole night through.
Good morning, good morning to you.

I said good morning, see the sun is shinin'.
Good morning, hear the birdies sing.
It's great to stay up late.
Good mornin', good mornin' to you.

When the band began to play
the stars were shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
it's too late to say goodnight.

Good morning, good morning!
Sunbeams will soon smile through.
Good mornin', good morning',
Good mornin', my darlin', to you!

Shade, shade, shade......

As a European I could never understand in the begin, when I came new to this island, why the houses here have so many trees around in the yards. Of course, the only one reason is to get enough SHADE, the most important thing in hot summer days down here, it's cooling off your house in a natural way too, not only with the running Air conditioner. Today I'm happy for so many trees as possible....

In Europe - and special in Switzerland where I was at home - we have not that many trees and not that close to the houses at all, they would be only covering up the beautiful view to the lakes and to the mountains. :-)

It's just a beautiful day

Just a beautiful day in paradise !

Palm Trees Waving

Palm trees at Smather's beach - a very peaceful place.

Palm trees waving
in the early morning breeze.
Outlined by
a pearl grey sky.

Tropical Beach

Palm trees in Black & White

It was a gray and cloudy day, barely sunshine.... I went to the beach to shoot some pictures in black & white.
They look much better then they would look in color.

Sorry, that you have to keep up with palm trees again, but I think they belong to paradise like the pine trees to the rolling hills on other places.

And I love palm trees!

Palm leaves

Green is a very relaxing color for your eyes and for your soul!
Have a look closer...and relax!

The Day is gone

The sun is setting down at Sunset Key

Replacement picture

Ooops... I guess I made a mistake by my post below - I picked the wrong picture as #5.
Please replace that #5 with this one here - in your mind, o.k.? .....smile...:-)

I Love Palm Trees

I have many of palm tree shots in my archives and I would like to share these pictures with you - I hope you'll enjoy!

Different Palms than at home

Palms and the beach on King George's Island, Florida


On my travels in Florida I have seen that the palm trees come in many different types then down on my island where I'm living. But they are all majestic, I love these trees.
