Bus Stop 15

Tuesday, 26 November 2013

Another building that caught our eyes in Tampa, Florida.   There may be more of that struture in the city.  For me, I thought that was so different from what I have seen so far.

Episcopal House of Prayer

Tuesday, 26 November 2013

We didn't plan to visit this historical building in Tampa, Florida.   Saw this by chance, as we drove through that street.  Unique structure made with rocks.  Asked Mike to stop for me to look at the description plate on the wall and to take a shot of it as well.   The plate read EPISCOPAL HOUSE OF PRAYER ERECTED 1922.

Airstream Ranch of Trailers

Wednesday, 6 November 2013

You can't miss these partially buried trailers in Dover, on the Interstate 40 between Lakeland and Tampa.    Either we drove so far that we missed them or it was already too dark for a picture.   I am glad today Mike remembered and stopped and I was able to take pictures from inside the car.

I thought that was such a unique and clever idea.    Thanks to the internet, I was able to find some information about it - http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgovernment/airstream-ranch-along-i-4-does-not-violate-law-judges-rule/1072831

I don't know Frank and Dorothy Bates, who put them up, but I want to say that was so clever!   I love it!

Right Time and Right Place

Saturday, 5 October 2013

Talking about the right time, the right place and God's leading hand.  We were meant to be there.

She was standing alone at the side of the road, with a phone to her ear, and a car ditched.   Mike stopped and asked if she was alright.  She said she had no family in the city and she was calling her employer but they could not come to help because of the business/customers.   She got her driving licence not too long ago and was on the way to work but had driven a little too fast at the curve and her car spun once and ended in the ditch.  The road was obviously slippery after some rain during the night.


Grateful that the two truck came shortly to pull it out.  Except for a little dent, it was a blessing that her car was okay.   And most importantly she was not physically hurt.  She was emotional and shakened when we spoke to her.

Driving on the Left Side of the Road?

Wednesday, 2 October 2013

No, it was not driving on the left side of the road.   Not in the US.   A tractor was being hauled.

Little Rock Zoo

Thursday, 25 April 2013

One of the favourite places of interest that I like to visit - the Zoo.    It was $8 admission fee for Mike and $10 for me.   And $2 for parking.
































The snakes of different colours.














The birds.  The white swam had a nest!






















The fishes













Some of the animals

















It was interesting to watch the giraffee knocking on the wall with his leg not just once but continuously.   I guess he was telling the other something.   I thought it was a female giraffe inside but later realised it was also a male.















Mike said let us take a picture

Old Mill North Little Rock, Arkansas

Saturday, 6 April 2013

It was a lovely sunny cool day and I enjoy the place very much.   Beautiful!




















Little Rock River Rail Streetcar

Saturday, 6 April 2013

So this morning we visited the Argenta Farmers' Market at 521 North Main Street, North Little Rock.   And since the river rail streetcar or the river rail trolley was just next to it, we decided to hop on it and go for the ride.   Mike, being over 65 years old, paid only 50 cts while I paid $1.00.













Beautiful tulips still in bloom at this time.




Fishing

Thursday, 28 March 2013

Amazingly the fish pond and the surroundings look good in the picture.    It was a small pond close to the road.   Mike caught his trouts and catfish from there during the past 3 months!   I don't care for fishing.  I think it is boring.    This evening the weather was nice and so I accompanied him, just to enjoy the outside.   He enjoyed his fishing and talking to other fishing folks while I enjoyed  my Sudoku.

















I don't like fishing but I love to eat fish.    What I don't like about fishing is just sitting there waiting.
