The Lion Fence

One of the more interesting fences I saw in the Bahamas was in Freeport.

I was only able to snag a quick shot as we sped by in the taxi but
it was an amazing sight to see.


 This British Colony on the island of the Grand Bahama is well represented here.  
See if you can spot the shadows on this lovely smokey blue gray fence.



Spending time in another country is a real joy but I'm always glad to be home again, especially 
to celebrate our independence from England. 


Happy 4th of July!!

There are plenty of shadows to spot in your Bahamian shots!

The shadows fall from the walls to the lions who are guarding the homestead behind the barrier - interesting that the lions seem to represent Britain that has no more colonies on this side of the Pond - so seem like very nice lions these days, not at all threatening lions as the empire is no more...

Lion fences are a bit odd, I think-but I suppose even in this day and age, it lends a sense of guardianship!

Hi Jeannie Marie,

That fence cost more than my house! Isn’t it fun finding blues to share? Thanks for playing today.

Happy Blue Monday!

Hi and thank you for your comment at my blog. We know the pain of unkept homes we once lived in! So sad. I really enjoyed your post today and the photo was terrific even as you flew by in that taxi! Love the American flag. Good to be here and share with you today. Take care.

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
