Good Morning! Here is another Eyes Wide Open post featuring some photos I took this week while out running. They were all taken on my iPhone.
Hope you enjoy them and have a great Saturday!

A lovely place to sit and think
A pretty combination of grasses and purple flowers
Good Morning! Lately I have been obsessed with people’s quirky mail boxes and lawn decor. Some are really quite entertaining! As usual all photos are taken with an iPhone.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Mailbox in disguise!
Tube Dude mailbox
Some crafty work done to this one!
I guess this belongs to a fisherman
I think this one is a Stork
Have a great weekend and keep your eyes wide open!
Good Morning! I hope you enjoy this week’s photos taken on my iPhone.

Beautiful Royal Poinciana blossoms
I’ve run past this huge dog topiary hundreds of times and never noticed it before. It’s magnificent!
A flock of Birds of Paradise
A thoughtful free library in the park. (See I really do use an iPhone!)
Good Morning!
I am really enjoying my own weekly challenges. Each day I am out running I make sure that I capture anything that nature presents or is pleasing to my eyes. I’m rarely disappointed.
This is what I discovered this week taken with an iPhone. Have a great Saturday and Keep Your Eyes Wide Open!
Thai lady outside her restaurant offering food to Buddha with prayer. A daily occurrence.
I wasn’t going to, but thanks for the reminder!
“Unconditional Surrender” – 25 foot statue on our Bayfront
Someone left a million dollars on a bench! I thought it was a dollar bill when I first sat down. Fascinated, I turned it over and learned that I could be “saved”. I doubt that, so I left it for the next person to find.
Pretty canopy trail offering welcome shade on a steamy day
Enjoy what you see!
Here are some photos from this week to share with you. As usual they are taken on my iPhone.
Enjoy your Saturday and keep your eyes wide open!
I couldn’t believe this butterfly let me get so close to him. I guess he was busy feeding himself!
This little crab ran across my path while I was walking on the nature trail
A Desert Rose I am nurturing

Good Morning!
This is what I came across this week while out and about in nature. As always all photos are taken with an iPhone.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Palm Trees with Earrings
Pretty Lilcac-Blue Clematis
I see a face in this dead Palm tree
A group of Ibis on the trail
An insurance company would call this an “attractive nuisance”. I could easily have stolen these delicious looking mangoes
Keep your eyes open, you never know what you will see!
I was lucky with the weather this week. It gave me some beautiful sunset photos and I found a few colorful things to share with you.
Enjoy your Saturday!

It was a hot week slowing down my running to a jog and some days mostly a walk. So I didn’t burn as many calories but the sights captured on my iPhone more than made up for it. One day was spent at the local Jungle Gardens. It is a small park but they have a wonderful flock of flamingos that usually surround you begging for food. As it was their breeding season they were completely disinterested in us. I hope you enjoy these things I share with you when I open my eyes to my surroundings. Nature is just beautiful. Enjoy your Saturday!
I captured the sunset through a sculpture on the bay
It was breeding season for the Flamingos so they were not interested in any feeding attempts. Two Ibis looking on.
Magnificent Banyan Trees in the neighborhood
This is Bridal Bouquet, part of the plumeria family. Fortunately it does not shed it leaves like a plumeria so it stays lush all year round. I had this growing at the front of my house but someone flattened it with a bike, i guess. I rescued what I could salvage and have potted it, nursing it back to health.

Here are a few photos taken with my iPhone while out running. I’m making a concerted effort to capture pictures of things I would normally not stop and take in. There is inspiration everywhere in beautiful nature. My intention is to post some photos at the end of each week.
A big thanks again to Cyranny’s Cove and her After Eight Moments for the inspiration to begin this project. She has some great photos so be sure to check them out.
I would love to just sit on one of these very
low hung branches in the shade
What a great oak tree to have in your front yard!
I saw this Blue Heron just paddling in the pond
A beautiful sunset over the Bay
Enjoy your day and keep your eyes wide open!
