@Kat0121-- oh! i've been across the seven mile bridge in Florida! if i remember correctly, there were pelicans and pelican nests on poles coming up from the water along side the bridge.

yes, they do! youtube has some great videos of dogs playing in the snow. i especially love when the dog burrows through/under the snow, then pops up in another area of the yard!
Yes, there are!! They are so fun to watch! We have amazing wildlife in Florida.

Thunder and lightening storms amaze me! I used to love sitting out on the back porch to watch the heavy clouds accumulate and roll through the sky. Then I would hear the ominous rumbling of thunder... getting closer and louder! Then, when I least expected it, a deafening crack and a huge bolt of lightening would flash and dance across the dark blue-grey background. Bursts of white, red, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, violet, cyan and orange illuminating the air and casting outrageous shadows across the earth! The pungent smell of ionization and the feel of expanding air and the building wind!
Then comes the pastoral calm afterward. The still air, a single chirp of a bird, the reflection of the sun in a puddle, glistening drops of rain desperately clinging to the leaves, the vibrant colors and the sweet, clean aromas of petrichor rising up and filling my senses.
There is nothing quite so humbling as the violent power of a thunder and lightening storm!

they are exciting!!!
i remember about 4 years ago or so when there was a huge thunderstorm here. thunder, lots of lightening that lit up the night sky, wind, and rain. this was maybe a few months after mickey, snick, and i moved into our house. snick was in the living room with me, but i wanted to make sure my mickey was doing okay with all the thunderstorm 'to do'. so i went looking through the house for him, and found him in the upstairs hallway -- on a cat tree in front of the hall window, just watching the bright flashes from the lightening. i was surprised that he was so calm about it and interested in it, but i told myself that my boy must have felt awfully comfortable, safe, and secure in our home if he was that calm during the really big thunderstorm.

I hate fog having lived through the pea soupers in London where you can't see your hand in front of your face and to cross the road was by listening. By the time you saw the lights of the car it was too late.
Now I live in a very hot country and I hate the summer. Roll on winter I say. It's easier to warm up than to cool down.
