August 23, 2007. Near the office building where i work there are 2 retention ponds. I walked out there today and in one found these water lilies and then at the other one there were a lot of Dragonflies. I had never seen a red or blue one and was lucky enough to get a picture of both.

Last week I finally got my new camera and below are some test pictures i have taken with it.

First is Frangi Pangi or Plumeria, whichever name you prefer. I do not have a clue the name of the next flower down.

The railroad tracks near where i live, a bit of haze in the distance.
Last night I went out to Pier 60 on Clearwater Beach. There was a young man making grasshoppers and roses out of palm fronds. I of course had to purchase one of each and thought you might enjoy seeing the artistic ability this young man possesses.

July 28, 2007, my church, King of Peace MCC and Tampa MCC and the MCC church at Sarasota met at Ft. DeSoto Park for a Beach Baptism and Barbecue. It was a lot of fun and met a lot of new people. I have gotten these pictures in a bit of a reverse order, The top two pictures are sunset pictures taken on my way home. The third picture is of our pavilion where we had the picnic and the 4th picture is the baptism. The last picture is looking north along the beach from the top of the old fort.
