Happy Saint Patrick's Day 2013 Wishing everyone a fabulous day, enjoy your time with family and friends.     03/16/2013

On this beautiful spring Saturday afternoon, I could not resist. I am sitting in my office and keep hearing a tweet out my window. It just kept on tweeting and tweeting without stop. I grabbed my canon rebel, hurry out the door in hopes he would still be there. I was able to shoot him once before he fled away. It was probably just a reminder to stop and enjoy the beauty that surround us everyday and I am glad I was able to capture a moment of beauty God has given us all. I recommend that you stop what you are doing and step out side and enjoy the beauty of this Saturday afternoon. 03/16/2013

Now before you post a comment telling me how you can't believe it, let me tell you why. I have allergies. Bad allergies. However, this year I decided to suck it up, take the allergy medicine and let my wife (she grew up having real trees) and my two little ones experience the joy of having a real Christmas Tree. As I was looking for a decent place to get a Christmas Tree, I came across a place in Eustis Florida called "Santa's Christmas Tree Forest". For those of you in Clermont, Minneola, Montverde, Mascotte or Groveland who think that Eustis is too far to go to get a Christmas Tree, keep reading. As I was checking out their... 12/05/2012
