Porte Photos’ Daily Quote: January 6, 2024

I am not afraid…
I was born to do this.

~ Joan of Arc
French – Saint January 6, 1412 – May 30, 1431

Porte Ponderings:

2024 literally started with a bang.

I arrived in Florida for the New Year’s Eve fireworks. This was the worst year yet for noise. On Penny Lane the residents had a huge display. Debris fell on trailer roof tops in Sleep Hollow. The Police were called, but didn’t respond. Then a box of their fireworks caught on fire. Police, fire and ambulance anxious to help broke down the locked gate at Sleep Hollow Park 2 before realizing the emergency was next door. They watched the flames for 45 minutes, took one person by ambulance to hospital, then finally doused the flames. I pray the person is OK. I hate New Year’s Eve in Zephyrhills.

But I love taking pictures of the birds at Zephyr Park. 10 pictures that I posted on iNaturalist were added to the Florida Birds Album. Not bad for my first day out.

I’ve started doing a Daily Tarot Reading for myself. Today was the Eight of Cups. ”I am ready to leave behind anything that hinders my spiritual growth” Unfortunately my Busch Gardens friend isn’t buying a pass this year, so I now need to decide if I should go alone, find a new companion or just skip this year. The Real Music Series starts next Tuesday, so I still have some time to decide.
