Art And So Much More!

 If you don't already know Tallahassee is the capitol of Florida, home of Florida State U. and a fun city.  My 2 nieces live there  (about a 4 hour drive north of me) . I went up for a birthday celebration for one  (Denise)  who just happened to be born on my birthday many moons ago next week. 

   This weekend was the Pumpkin Festival in Havana, small town near the Georgia border,  and was  just one of the things we did. 
  Antique shopping, funnel cakes,  General Store, the best weather.  
Then onto Railroad Square Art Park, where I am posting pictures. It's close to the University, pictures  tell the story, so won't go into it.   Suffice it to say I had the best weekend I've had in years.  
Thanks Michele and Denise..   hugs,  Aunt Barbra  
         P.S. and the house I want to live in...

Awww!

    Not  EVERYTHING  is pretty here in Florida . but I happen to think so..  These are   Soft shelled turtles.. this one is a baby  (small)   like a saucer.  The other (below) could be  mom or dad .. (under the water) they are about a foot and a half in diameter.  Twice the size of a dinner plate, and have  very long necks. Different than the land turtles which most people have seen..
   These guys live right near my deck ,, and I know this is hard to believe but  the baby comes to me when it sees me out there   .... of course  I feed them ... left over cat nibbles, and bread..
   If I come across one on the road ... STOP  the car!!! get the towel, (always in the car for emergencies like turtle rescues. Land turtles too.  )  I then ask it  "where are you trying to go?"  and carry it to the other side..
