Tuesday evening's sunset. Very golden. #sunset #sunsetsofinstagram #southfloridasunset #australianpine #instasunsets #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
This is the look I get whenever Julie wants a treat, and she is always ready for a treat. #blackandwhitecats #blackandwhitecatsofinstagram #tuxedocatsofinstagram #julie #instacats #catsofinstagram #catsofsouthflorida #wiltonmanors #floridacats #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
The one end of my balcony. Moved the spotlight and now I can take a night pic. Wind is getting a lot stronger as Eta gets closer, but still not blowing in on the balcony. #cupid #cupidstatue #statuesofinstagram #balconygardening #eta #tropicalstormeta #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Just got the plants on my balcony pretty much the way I want them! Now, tropical storm Eta is headed this way! Filmed this before any damage occurs. #eta #tropicalstorm #balconygardening #tropicalplantsofinstagram #tropicalplants #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Tulips and eucalyptus in the Fall! The Blue Eucalyptus comes from California, but not sure if the tulips are from a greenhouse or South America. #eucalyptus #blueeucalyptus #californiaeucalyptus #tulips #orangeflowers #instaflowers #orangetulips #flowersofinstagram #tulipsofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #falltulips
The scene all along Wilton Drive, downtown. Lots of cheering and horn blowing! This is happening all over the country. Trump fighting the results with lawsuits and requests for recounts, but I am just praying he is out, finally. Biden has a lot to do, though, to reverse the damage Trump has done. It's going to be difficult to get the country back together! #election2020 #endofthenightmare #endoftrump #trumpinjail2020 #godblessamerica #merica #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Last night's sunset. The brilliant color only lasted for a few minutes. #sunset #instasunsets #floridasunset #tropicalsunset #sunsetsofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #fallinflorida
Julie's afternoon nap is over and she is patiently waiting for dinner. #blackandwhitecats #blackandwhitecatsofinstagram #instacats #julie #cats #domesticcat #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #floridacats #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Julie just keeps getting braver and braver! Here she has just taken possession of the sofa in the living room. Right in the middle, too! #blackandwhitecats #blackandwhitecatsofinstagram #instacats #julie #cats #domesticcat #catsofsouthflorida #catsofinstagram #catsonthesofa #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Julie was very impatient for breakfast this morning. She was in the living room being very vocal, then sat looking around the corner to see what was taking so long! #blackandwhitecats #blackandwhitecatsofinstagram #instacats #cats #domesticcat #catsofinstagram #catsofsouthflorida #hungrycat #mycat #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Progress comes in small steps. After her breakfast, she took a nap next to me, on a chair in the living room. She keeps getting braver! #blackandwhitecats #blackandwhitecatsofinstagram #instacats #julie #cats #domesticcat #catsofsouthflorida #catsofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Julie finally came into the living room while I had my phone. Here she is lying next to my chair. #cats #domesticcat #blackandwhitecats #catsofsouthflorida #catsofinstagram #instacats #orientalrugs #persianrugs #iranianrugs #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Julie, exact same spot on the bed, waiting patiently for her breakfast treat. She is getting better, though, exploring more. Still scares easily and hides under the bed. #julie #cats #domesticcat #blackandwhitecats #catsofsouthflorida #catsofinstagram #instacats #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
New bloom on some older plants that I had previously moved to a more shady location. #bromeliad #bromeliadsofinstagram #bromeliads #instaflowers #instabromeliad #orangeflowers #tropicalplants #tropicalplantsofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #flowers #southfloridainsummer #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Beautiful colors from Saturday evening's sunset. This was before all of the dust blowing over from the Sahara. As the dust thickens, the colors are supposed to get even better, but so far it has been so cloudy there hasn't been a sunset! #sunset #southfloridasunset # #dramaticsunset #saharadust #sunsetsofinstagram #instasunsets #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Some flowers I got the other day. It's been raining for days and can't get out. #flowers #lilies #assortedflowers #pinkflowers #redflowers #instaflowers #flowersofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Beautiful sunset Wednesday evening. Still self-isolating at home. Running out of picture ideas! Going to start going through old pics I can download and post. #staysafe #southflorida #sunsetsofinstagram #instasunsets #floridasunset #tropicalsunset #sunset #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Some of the Crossandras I planted in front of my building! Have been doing well, but take a lot of fertilizer. The soil here is nutrient poor, and mostly sand. #crossandra #flowers #instaflowers #flowersofinstagram #instacrossandra #flowersinflorida #springinsouthflorida #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Sunset Thursday evening, like a ball of fire slowly dropping behind the Cypress trees! #sunset #sunsetsofinstagram #instasunsets #floridasunset #tropicalsunset #cypresstrees #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
How would you like being confined here during the pandemic? Someone's (not mine) yacht docked at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, on the Intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale. I snapped this from the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway in the Riviera Isles neighborhood. #privateyacht #privateyachts #veniceofamerica #intracoastalwaterway #instayacht #yachtsofinstagram #stayathome #staysafe #fortlauderdale #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #springinsouthflorida
Blooms on one of my red and green bromeliads, on my balcony! The first one to start blooming, the flowers are about a quarter of an inch in diameter, and appear in the cup in the center of the rosette of leaves. #bromeliads #bromeliadsofinstagram #purpleflowers #bromeliad #instaflowers #instabromeliad #springinsouthflorida #springflowers #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Sunset earlier this week. #sunset #sunsetsofinstagram #instasunsets #floridasunset #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #springinsouthflorida
More of the entry garden. Pentas, verbena ( I think ), copperleaf, and a croton. #springinsouthflorida #springflowers #instaflowers #flowersofinstagram #pentas #verbenas #copperleaf # crotons #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
The entry garden I planted downstairs. Flowers really going crazy from a lot of sun and a lot of fertilizer! Pentas and crossandras mostly. #springflowers #instaflowers #springinsouthflorida #flowers #flowersofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
The flowers of the Silver Tabebuia have started popping out! It seems to be hotter than usual this spring, and they are not lasting very long on the trees. They are pretty spectacular while they last, though. The tree gets its name from the silver grey tint to the leaves. #springinsouthflorida #springflowers #instaflowers #yellowtabebuia #silvertabebuiatrees #yellowflowers #floweringtreesofinstagram #flowersofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
On my balcony, the last bud has opened on the first new plant I bought this season! The older flower on the upper right has lost the yellow background color with age. #orchids #orchidsofinstragram #instaorchids #instaflowers #balconiesofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #winterinflorida
Beautiful sunset this evening. Very fiery and golden. # #sunsetsofinstagram #instasunsets #floridasunset #tropicalsunset #winterinflorida #palmtrees #australianpine #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
The beginning of a miniature ornamental pineapple. I have 6 or 7 starting to bloom in the front garden. #ornamentalpineapple #miniaturepineapple #frontgarden #gardeninginsouthflorida #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #winterinflorida
The afternoon sun shining onto the balcony really intensifies the colors of my orchids. #orchids #flowers #orchidsofinstragram #instaorjchids #instaflowers #buddha #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #winterinflorida
The other end of the garden area in front of my building. The impatiens have grown almost as big as the crotons. #flowers #instaflowers #flowersofinstagram #impatiens #crossandra #crotons #crownofthorns #ornamentalpineapple #varigatedbougainvillea #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #winterinflorida
The garden area I planted in front of my building. The flowers are filling in nicely, as we have had a lot of rain this winter. Unfortunately, the impatiens can't survive the heat in the summer, here. It's already getting hotter as Spring begins. #impatiens #pentas #crotons #crossandra #flowers #winterinflorida #flowersinflorida #instaflowers #flowersofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
One of the larger bromeliads on my balcony. This is a very common variety and is very easy to grow. #bromeliadsofinstagram #bromeliads #tropicalplants #plantsofsouthflorida #winterinflorida #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Closeup of the other recent orchid purchase. Again, I can't take credit for these blooms, the plant came this way. #orchids #orchidsofinstragram #instaorchids #instaflowers #burgundyandwhiteorchids #winterinflorida #winterflowers #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5

Most of the year I have to pull a shade down to block out the intense Florida sun. However, the late afternoon sun in winter can be very pleasant. #livingroom #sunnycorner #wintersun #winterinflorida #baldwinpiano #foodogs #instafoodog #artdecoclock #bambooflooring #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Have moved all the orchids to the north end of my balcony. Wish I could take credit for the flowers, but these were all in bloom when I got them. So far only one of my existing plants has started to put out a bloom spike. #orchids #orchidsofinstragram #instaorchids #instaflowers #winterinflorida #purpleorchids #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #flowers #tropicalflowers

Another new orchid. Publix had them on sale, two for $14.95. Couldn't pass that up! Still has a lot of buds, just hope they all open! #orchids #orchidsofflorida #instaorchids #instaflowers #phalaenopsisorchid #orchidsofinstragram #foodogs #phalaenopsis #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
A new orchid, since my others still haven't started putting out flower spikes. The first dendrobium orchid that I have tried. The color is called Panama Red. #orchids #instaorchids #orchidsofinstragram #flowersofinstagram #instaflowers #winterinflorida #shadows #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #dendrobiumorchids
New Year's day at the pool. I don't lie out in the sun much, any more, but try to get out for a bit on either Christmas day or New Year's day, just so I can say I did it! #swimmingpool #poolinwinter #winterinflorida #sunnydayinflorida #legsinthesun #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #lyingbythepool

First time I've had an orchid produce new flowers on last season's stems. Same plant has produced a keiki, as well, another first for me. #orchids #orchidsofinstragram #instaorjchids #keiki #phalaenopsis #phalaenopsisorchid #wiltonmanors #southflorida #florida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
This evening's sunset. I'm tired of looking at that Australian Pine tree in all of my winter sunset pics. Unfortunately, it survives every hurricane, even when much nicer ones don't! #sunsetsofinstagram #floridasunset #tropicalsunset #instasunsets #winterinflorida #australianpine #trees #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
My newest orchid, because I don't have this color, and I'm tired of waiting for mine to bloom.

Tonight's sunset!

Closeup of the flowers on the Silk Floss tree. You can sort of make out some of the thorns on the trunk, as well. #silkflosstree #pinkflowers #flowers #floweringtrees #floweringtreesofinstagram #instaflowers #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #fallinflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Silk Floss tree, about a block from me. Blooms like this every year, but doesn't look very healthy the rest of the year. #silkflosstree #pinkflowers #flowers #floweringtrees #floweringtreesofinstagram #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #fallinflorida
Wicked Manors! One last Halloween pic.

Wicked Manors, Halloween in Wilton Manors. Just about the hottest group there. Turns out they are real, a Swat Team from Broward County Sheriff's Dept. It's too bad, even though they look damn good, that people feel this is necessary to be safe in a crowd. #wickedmanors #halloween #halloweeninwiltonmanors #instahalloween #swatteam #nicebutts #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5 #nicebuttsofinstagram
Wicked Manors, Halloween in Wilton Manors. Most everyone who is anyone shows up. This was a rather mixed delegation from the Vatican. Didn't see any of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence this year! #wickedmanors #halloween #halloweencostume #halloweeninwiltonmanors #vaticancity #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5

The Devil? Hairy from the waist down, he was raised up on very high platform shoes, made to look like the haunches of a stag.

Wicked Manors, Halloween in the gay capital of the eastern US. It was mobbed with people, but so crowded I only got a few clear pics! #halloweencostume #wickedmanors #halloween #halloweeninwiltonmanors #instahalloween #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Just when last night's sunset was getting good, a big dark cloud moved in off the ocean and covered it up. #darkclouds #withnorain #sunset #sunsetsofinstagram #instasunsets #floridasunset #tropicalsunset #wiltonmanors #florida #southflorida #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
Terrestrial orchids in a front garden down the street from me.

A Live Oak tree, moved here in 1976, in honor of the Bicentennial. There is an oak tree growing in Boston that was important in the Revolutionary War, though I forget why, so a lot of communities across the country declared similar honors in 1976. # bicentennialoak #revolutionarywar #riverwalkftl #newriver #newriverinfortlauderdale #fortlauderdale #florida #southflorida #citypark #liveoaktree #samsung #samsungsg4pics #sg5
