BEEFALO?

Hasn't been much to take pictures of. Then I saw this buffalo, actually a Bison, but people call them buffalos. By the time I got to the camera to take it's picture, IT had layed down. I tried waving my hands & making noise, BUT NOT TOO LOUDLY, as there was only about 75' & 4 strands of barbed wire between me & it. Buffalo can charge as I saw that happen once in Indiana as I was taking a picture of a herd of them.
Only one more animal in the field & since this is definitly a bull, I'm taking for granted that since the 2 of them are within 50' of one another peacefully that the buffalo is a female & that they are trying to cross breed them to get Beefalo meat to sell. Beefalo meat is leaner & more healty for your body. I ate some once at Ocala Florida as a bowler I met there had a ranch of Beefalo. I don't remember if it tasted wild, but do remember it tasted dry.

Not much going on here. Won't be back into the campgrounds for another week. This weekend is supposed to be back up to 80. We've had some days 65-75 & nights in the 40's-65. Had a night of tornado watch & another evening of forest fires in the next county. I hear the miniture golf course is getting built here in the campground. Wish all is well till next time. Ron

Just Sunsets

I haven't had much to make a blog out of recently. So Tuesday I went to Siesta Key Beach & other beaches with Daryl, a friend of mine. She got her feet into the water, but when she said it was really cold, I didn't stick my feet in. Besides the beach pictures I took there were other pictures I wanted to include here, but will have to do in another posting. This boy running along the shore was one of my favorites. He was there with his dad & 2 sisters that I also took pictures of.
I really love sunset pictures & even though there were some that I took that I didn't care for, it seems that each has it's own personality. I'm not gonna tell you what I liked about each of these pictures, but you can write back & tell me which you like best, starting with the top picture as #1 & the bottom picture as #5.
This is #3.

Went to the beach today......

Siesta Beach is a famous beach at Sarasota, Fl. It has white sand which is beautiful & soft to the feet, but the lifeguard said it is actually harder than diamonds. I got a cup full to bring back with me. The water temperature was nice today, about the same as the air temperature.
Not a whole lot of people out there, but maybe 100 or so. I wanted to show the lifeguard station & the flags blowing. The wind must have been blowing 15-25mph. There are 4 lifeguard shacks there & each is painted a different color to help people keep track of where they are. There is nothing worst than a child missing. I've seen that several times. Once a girl made a new friend & wandered away with her, here at Siesta 3-4 years ago when I was here. Last summer there was a girl missing for over an hour. I never knew if they found her.
It wasn't too cold for gals in bikinis or for guys to take their shirts off.
After leaving the beach, I saw this sign. It was hard to believe the amount of the fine set at such an odd figure.
Farther away from the beach I saw this city bus. Hybrid diesel-electric. It was really quiet zooming away from a stoplight & was hitting 40 mph. I had to wait till both of us caught a stoplight for me to hop out of my car to take this picture.

I had a low of 41 last night. It was beautiful here today. Supposed to be in the mid 70's this coming weekend.
