Me?
I haven't been anywhere since my step-daughter's wedding. No summer vacation. No Christmas vacation. No place. Not even a weekend away somewhere. Bah, humbug, for sure.
Then, last weekend, the travel drought was ended. The Redlands Orchid Festival was going on in Miami-Dade and my darling husband and I decided we'd go there. I particularly wanted to visit the bonsai nursery in the area. So, off we went last Sunday morning, driving for more than an hour, following the directions of the GPS voice and ... the bonsai nursery was closed. :o( Sad face.
We kept driving, south and west, and then, there it was ... right on the corner where we left it! Robert Is Here Fruit Stand!

| There were these wonderfully funny coconut banks, each one different, painted with funny faces and kooky straw hats! |
 |
| It's mango season in south Florida, so, of course there were lots and lots of mangos! |
 |
| As the sign says, these are Jackfruit. They're nearly as big as watermelons. |
 |
| And, here's what they look like up close and personal ... |
 |
| We took some of these gorgeous tomatoes home with us, and they were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Fresh and flavorful, just like they say! |
 |
| I decided to try a couple of "shot from the hip" shots, and I got this! I read about the technique on one of my favorite photo blogs, and doing this is meant to encourage creativity. I took four shots and got this one, which I like. Next time I'm going to shoot people. |
 |
| So, here is your "contrast and compare" shot ... a lemon and a Persian lime, the kind we commonly find in our grocery stores. They are keeping company with Key Limes. Note how small the Key Limes are. |
 |
| Sunflower field ... we encountered this as we were leaving. |
 |
| If ever you visit south Florida, I recommend a visit to Robert Is Here! My darling husband and I enjoyed fruit shakes, him strawberry, me Key Lime! |
