Photos from Florida's Capital City (and occasionally a few from other interesting places I have been fortunate enough to visit in my travels!)

Live Oak
I will conclude this tour of Goodwood by showing a picture of one of the live oak trees on the property. Like most of the trees in this area it is draped in Spanish moss.
I beg your forgiveness for my cutting and pasting – yet constantly reworking – this comment, but there was no way on Earth I would be able to make it around the whole globe to wish everybody a Merry Christmas otherwise.
Yes, I am but a mere mortal. The magical elves that constitute my staff have demonstrated their lack of respect in either not showing up for work at all, and those that have all seem a little worse for wear, if you catch my drift. All they seem to do is sit around smoking, playing cards and telling dirty jokes! Consequently, the reindeer are all filthy and out of shape. And you know, the wallabies just don’t cut it as replacements.
Anyway, from myself, Henry and Ezra, have a Merry Christmas/Winter Solstice/Hanukkah/Festivus and a happy New Year!
I hope that all of your holiday photos turn out to be triumphs, your stocking is stuffed full of lots of tasty treats and not coal and that all your pumpkin pies are all as sweet as you like them.
Very impressive tree. This is my first visit to your blog. I like the way you give some background information with each picture. Nice to learn about Tallahassee, which I only knew by name; didn't even associate it with Florida, sorry... I just joined CDP. You're welcome to visit and comment if you like.

These old oaks with the Spanish moss are my favorites! Aren't they just beautiful?!
Merry Christmas Lois!

This looks nice and feels old.. I wouldn't mind growing old here.
