My alive and thriving Monday!

Happy #aliveandthriving Tuesday afternoon /evening to you, and thank you for your visit!

Today I wanted to do some miles on the bike and I took a few photos along the way I would like to share with you!

So first I "finally" got a photo of something that some of you may find interesting! About a block away from the old house is the sign on the main road,

And a close-up so you see what I mean,

This area of the island has many Ducks raising their young - which return annually and the people here feed them as well, especially the lady at the corner!

And they cross the street to get to these,

And a little closer,

These are "Water Hyacinth" they are free floating and also appear here annually. And no I don't believe the Ducks eat these, but I do think they eat the baby fish hiding amongst the roots!

Over at the old house the Shrimp Plant is doing "well" so I took a few photos of it also. This is the whole plant,

And a single flower,

And then I rode home, it was getting warm and together so far I had 7 miles / 11.26 kilometers in.

After awhile I decided to go back out to make it an even 10 miles / 16.09 kilometers for the day. I rode over to the Park and really didn't see anything that caught my attention. As I was leaving I did notice that the "Curlycup Gumweed" was starting to bloom again and I took a few photos.
This is one peaking out,

And this is a single flower that I think came out well, probably the best photo of the day so I did want to share it with you! Definitely #aliveandthriving !

And that was it for today!

I want to thank you again for your visit and I am Wishing you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe Mid-Week!
