2011-03-06T15:29:00.000-05:00

This is a very busy corner and I took this photo because I thought it was inevitable that these cars would crash into each other. Miraculously, they avoided a collision and continued on their merry way!

Happy New Year!

We're back...sort of. While we have moved "successfully" across town, we're still inundated by "stuff" and the trials and tribulations (and joys) of moving into a new place, along with the various responsibilities of selling an "old" house.

So, posting will be sporadic at best for awhile.

But, we wanted to thank all of our special friends in the photoblogging world for wishing us well at Christmas and giving us such great support during our move. We deeply appreciate your concern and your kind words.

In return and in gratitude, we send our best wishes to each of you for a wonderful New Year!

[We'll repeat this message on our other blogs. If you check Ocala Daily Photo, you'll find a photo of the entrance to our new community - Stone Creek, in Ocala.]

Maintaining the Eiffel Tower

2009-12-02T21:02:00.001-05:00

Maintenance is an ongoing affair at the Eiffel Tower. Bolts have to be tightened and it has to be painted - massive jobs. This sculpture pays homage to those men who risk their lives to take care of these things.

Will you marry me?

He came over to our table in the Eiffel Tower restaurant surreptitiously and whispered, "Hi, we're from Germany. I'm going to ask my girlfriend to marry me. Would you take a picture of me proposing?"

Well, who could say "No" to that?

So, he proposed and I took a picture. She said "Yes!" Everyone applauded.

And they lived happily ever after. We hope.
