Gumbo Limbo Tree

I sometimes forget about the unique, unusual plants, flowers & trees that grow in Florida...love this picture.
I like to visit Marie Selby Gardens in Sarasota,
it is so pleasant & peaceful there.

Hi LilacLady,

Beautiful photos. My wife is also a photographer by trade, although she's currently dedicated to raising our boy as a stay-at-home mother. I, too, love being a father. I consider it a privilege and a divine calling.

That other forum is very mean-spirited (that's what spiritual blindness does to you), so I was hoping to find you at another discussion format.

At the same time, I thought it was good that we spoke "Christian-like" the way we communicated so heathens can see how believers' connection is so genuine.

I praise the Lord for the way He transforms people, including what He's done in your life.

You were asking me if I was on vacation. Yes, I am. We're planning to go up north where my wife is from to visit some of her wonderful Christian friends there, as well as visit family. I then will return in mid-August to participate in a teacher's workshop before school starts.

By the way, as you obviously know, my name is not really Bobby ...

Without going into too many details (this being a public forum), I've lived on your side of the state before ... I've visited a big church there near Ranchwood Ranches & have been to Sarasota for several church outings ...

Stay in touch & God bless you.

I haven't looked at the comments at my pictures in a while as you can see.
I try so hard to not get overly excited over what those non believers say but sometimes it just gets to be too much.

My Church is big but not real big. It's bigger than I was used to up home (upstate N.Y.) but I fell in love with everyone there.
I look forward to going to get God's blessing and see some good Christian friends.

When I'm not at work or Church services, I am pretty much at home.
My boyfriend lives with me (yikes) and we have our quiet time and that's about it.

Take care and thanks for stopping by.
God Bless!

It was planted there in 1930 so that would make it 79 years old.
Aren't they wondeful trees? I'd love to have one in my back yard.
