Clouds and Sun...

Dramatic colors
Often seen in Florida's
Summer skies, enjoy!

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

Summer here in central coast Florida,
is hot tous les jours
with afternoon thunderstorms.

I love the dramatic skies...

And here is little Miss Mischief,
growing like a weed!

Happy Summer Solstice, all!

I've been slowly getting myself
into "Florida-Summer" mode,
and enjoying the process.

P-Mac in my

But I'm so grateful!

My sister Debra came home on May 4th,
carrying the tiniest black kitten,
in a cardboard box.

2 grey-green eyes peered up at me,
(I have not had a feline pet since I was a child)
and this little kitten and I became instant pals...

Her name is Onyx, but I call her purr-ball...

Trees of Summer

These majestic trees
Fill my eyes as I look up
during a nice swim...

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

It's been 90F + here in FLA.

Saturday I went for my first swim this season.
Looking up, these trees caught my eye;
the effect the contrast of shadow
and slices of light and color have on me
is nothing short of fascination...

'Giving thanks to the soldiers, on this day...

Happy Memorial Day!

Egret in Surf

Hot days, already
At the beach, it's always cool
My favorite thing...

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

Did something decadent
with my sister Debra:
Lunch with "Margarita Mondays"
at an outdoor place near the Jetty...

One was enough in the outdoor heat,
but just beyond,
the cool beach...
