The Adventures of Yertle the Turtle

These photos were taken with a point-and-shoot. At some point, I want to re-take all of these to see if I can do better with a digital SLR. Some of them will be easy to improve upon -- such as "Turtle admires himself".

Turtle, of course, is only too happy with all the attention he's been getting. He likes excursions.

The weather was perfect for an excursion with Turtle and my bicycle yesterday afternoon. Teenagers were out flying their kites; folks were out jogging. It was a beautiful day. Even when a construction worker rolled down the window of his pick-up and whistled at me, it felt more like college guys being friendly in Spring-time. I almost hollered back hello. :)

Marina South is mine. That expanse of water, the pavement by the sea, the breakwaters, that ugly sun-dial, it is all mine.

    The undeniable beauty of parquet flooring is financially out of reach for many people. A cost comparison between replacing the old worn out wall to wall carpeting and installing parquet flooring will show that the parquet choice is less expensive if you install it yourself.

    If you don't have sub flooring which can be sanded and varnished, you might consider do it yourself parquet flooring. Eight or twelve inch squares of finished oak are available in several shades of stain from dark walnut like oak to pale natural tones. The wood grain is preserved in all finishes and the final clear coat will stand up to most traffic.
