Alway a good idea

Sign on the door of one of the performance halls at the Florida State University College of Music in Tallahassee.

Words on a stone

Your friends are not dead, but gone before
Advanced a stage or two upon that road
Which you must travel in the steps they trod.
Aristophanes

Located on the Florida State University campus. One of the College of Music buildings can be seen in the background.

Beautiful blue skies over Lake Jackson just north of Tallahassee. If you click on the picture and "biggify" it, you will see some birds floating on the lake and a tiny moon in the sky. To see more lovely skies from around the world, don't miss SkyWatch Friday.

Resting

This little squirrel was enjoying a recent warm day by sprawling out on this tree branch and posing for my blog. I think he is a juvenile. Isn't he cute!

There were quite a few people taking advantage of the recent warm weather at Lake Ella this past weekend.

In the Army

The US Army Career Center is located in the Tallahassee Mall.

Birding Trail

If you look through the trees behind this sign, you can see some of Lake Jackson. I took this picture at the boat ramp not too far from my house.

Flan?

Someone decided to make this downtown sign pointing to the Museum of Florida History more interesting, but it did remind me that I haven't visited the museum in awhile. They are featuring an Audubon exhibit right now and I'm sure I could get some great blog pictures.

SkyWatch Friday

The setting sun shining on these jet contrails looked absolutely amazing. I took this picture through the windshield of my car while waiting in traffic. To see more beautiful skies from all over the world, don't miss SkyWatch Friday.

Florida State Park

There has been some talk about closing state parks lately due to the budget shortfall in the State of Florida, so I thought I would feature the state park closest to my house. You can read more about the Lake Jackson Mounds here.

Mounted Posse

I guess the posse that belongs to this horse needed to make a quick stop at the mall before moving on.

Wood Stork, Egret and the Moon

I think the egret is pretending to ignore the stork! This picture looks even better if you click on it and enlarge it. There are also two other birds flying around back there near the moon. The branch these beautiful birds are sitting on hangs over a pond behind the Tallahassee Mall.

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

I took this picture while I was trying to pick out Valentine presents for my grandkids. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Looking for food

I think he was looking for some chicken fingers. I took his picture at Zaxby's. They do make pretty good fried pickles there.

Shriners

This colorful fellow is standing in front of the Marzuq Shrine Center in Tallahassee.

I took this picture just as the sun was coming up over the trees. Visit SkyWatch Friday to see more fabulous skies from around the world.

Fencing Lessons

The North Florida Fencing Academy is the place to go if you want to take fencing lessons. It is located in the Tallahassee Mall.

Florida Heritage

The Indian Heritage Tableau outside of the Museum of Florida History in downtown Tallahassee was created by sculptors Bradley Cooley and Bradley Cooley Jr.. These figures symbolize the importance of the history and culture of the native people of Florida.

Fire Hydrants

I noticed these colorful fire hydrants outside of the fire station near downtown Tallahassee.

Leroy Collins Leon County Public Library

The main building of the Leon County Public Library is located downtown and is named for former governor of Florida, Leroy Collins. This building also gained notoriety during the 2000 U.S. presidential election because disputed ballots from Miami-Dade county were trucked to Tallahassee and brought here, where they were hand counted by local judges. While the counting was going on, hundreds of reporters were camped out in the park across the street where I was standing when I took this picture.

Hotel Duval

The newly renovated Hotel Duval, located in downtown Tallahassee.

SkyWatch Friday

I think these clouds look like big fat cotton balls in the sky! To see more wonderful skies from around the world, don't miss SkyWatch Friday.

Food for Thoughts - Famous Dave's

This truck was parked behind Famous Dave's Barb-B-Que restaurant. Visit Barcelona Daily Photo to see more Food for Thoughts from around the world.

Cotton

I know we live in the south, but planting cotton in the flower bed in front of this old building near downtown seemed a little odd to me.

Theme Day - Fountains

 

I have featured this fountain on my blog before, but since I think it is the most beautiful fountain in town, I am showing it again for Theme Day. This is the Florida Heritage Fountain located downtown on the west front of the Florida Capitol and facing the Florida Supreme Court. The dolphin sculpture within the fountain is called "Stormsong". The first day of the month is Theme Day for the City Daily Photo community.
