One Wild Looking Duck

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (99489) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 Jul

I have written about all kinds of animals. Then I discovered this really crazy duck called a crested duck. Its puff of white on top of its head looks to me like those bouffant hairstyles popular in the 1960s. For these ducks it is...

The Garden

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (99489) • Daytona Beach, Florida 24 Jul

There’ll never be a garden again where lilacs scented the air and apple blossoms, whipped by the wind, created snow in spring. There’ll never be a garden again, where a tall oak tree wished me luck and brought us much love,...

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (99489) • Daytona Beach, Florida 13 Jul

Well, not with shoes, but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this video of the blue-footed booby mating. His dance is quite inspirational and so cute. There are other booby bird species, but my favorite is the...

Remembering Summer Wine

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (99489) • Daytona Beach, Florida 29 Jun

Bumped into an old song on YouTube today. I always liked the melody, but the song sung by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood always seemed rather odd. The story behind the song is that a man meets a woman who notices he is wearing...
