Today at the golf course. She is looking right at me.

Buzz Lightyear
Really Tall Buzz Lightyear at Hollywoods Studio. You may notice a swirly thing on Buzz’s chin. It is supposedly not a hair, it is a dimple.
Old Dog Learning New Tricks
I am someone who has a tendency to immerse myself it things that interest me to the point where I spend a good amount of time learning the subject to the point where I can really use the knowledge learned. Right now I am up to my eyeballs in learning CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). I did a fairly deep dive a number of years ago to the point that I was able to build websites that were at least not unpleasant to look at. Over the last few years CSS has been updated a lot. I’ve dived back into it.
One of the things I can recommend is Codepen.io a site that lets you create and test CSS and Javascript in a sandbox environment. I use it to store things that I have learned about specific CSS code such as margin and padding. This gives me a reference anytime I forget exactly what some thing does. There are a lot of wonderful code smith’s that you can follow that are doing amazing things with CSS.
Another really useful tool is the You Tube Chanel of Kevin Powell. He has over 300 video on working on the front-end of the web. I highly recommend his videos.
At the moment I’m redoing my landing page for Noded.us The code I used was state of the art in 2008, not so much now. So an update was and is in order.
Queen Palms
Probably one of the prettiest palms. Love the green colors. These are rather tall examples across the street from me.
Breathe
It was really hot the other day. Neighborhood alligator was opening his/her mouth for a bit of fresh air. This gator is getting uncomfortably big for someone who lives on our backyard pond.
Local Gator
Local character had his eyes on me. Luckily, I was across the pond and not that close. Let’s hear it for telephoto lenses.
The Common Sense Photographer
I’m trying to restart my The Common Sense Photographer blog. There is a bunch of old stuff there and I hope to have new content in the next week or so.
