We All Scream Ice Cream

The take-out counter at Jaxson’s in Dania Beach.
Known for homemade ice cream and off-beat kitchiness, this place has been packing ‘em in for decades. Nothing off season about this past Saturday night.

Someday, I will feel this relaxed.
Farewell to Fowl Most Foul

The first time I saw these Victoria Park fixtures, the big bird charged toward me. Many, many times later, as I walked my dog or strolled past the flock, I always kept a safe distance after one of the ducks ran across a yard and pecked my leg. Everyone hated the creatures, all except the resident who had “rescued” and then deposited them on the edge of the neighborhood–thereby foisting their aggressiveness on all who lived here. In my mind, I named them Lucifer and Beelzebulb and Faust. I snapped this photo about a month ago, never realizing I had done something crazy with my camera settings. Who knows how only the green grass stayed in color? Since then, I haven’t seen any of these bad birds. I am reluctant to rejoice, but I am starting to wonder if someone complained and someone else finally listened. Or, perhaps another creature simply tired of their antics and had them for breakfast?
Bridge Crossing

I went out on an unexpected boat ride last night, of course without my camera. Thus, another iPhone image that would be so much better taken with a “real” camera. On the other hand, perhaps the blur of the lights and the grainy reflections on the water convey the sense of motion of a slow cruise on the Intracoastal.
Tour de Beach

I am moving in a few weeks, much closer to the beach. I am seriously considering getting a bike and a backpack beach chair.
