These lizards scamper all over every time I take my little dog out into the yard here in Florida. Today this young guy had been resting on my back passenger tire for several hours, and I had checked on him each time we came outside. As Tod, my miniature Pomeranian, and I walked this time beside the car, the lizard decided to jump onto the door panel.
The lizard tired quickly of being the main focus of my photo opportunity and scurried down to crawl into the crack at the bottom of door. All I could think about was whether or not he could now get inside my car. Waiting and waiting and hoping he's not inside my car, I finally found him again.
He decided to peek out, I'm guessing to see if the coast was clear from the camera. I still am not sure whether there's a way that he could have gotten to the inside of the car, but I am so happy that he did not.

Amazing Glass Sculpture by Jack Storms
 |
| Chronos These amazing glass sculptures by Jack Storms each take anywhere from eight to eighteen weeks to create. The glass is cut, ground, polished and laminated together hundreds of times until he accomplishes the desired effect. |
 |
| Owain Cube A college job working for a glass artist who was developing a technique of combining lead crystal and dichroic glass using a cold-glass process inspired Jack. He then developed more designs to test and created his own very intricate and unique style.
Jack Storms explains the creative
process for these amazing pieces of glass art. |

And the Winner is…. Starry Night!

After battling with the city of Mount Dora for more than a
year and being fined more than $10,000 for being in violation of the local sign
ordinance, the ordeal is now over and this home will continue to display the
“Starry Night” theme created by Richard Barrenechea.
Nancy Nemhauser and Lubmomir Jastrzebski originally
commissioned a local artist to turn the masonry wall in front of their home
into a work of art which was enjoyed by their autistic son. They were then told
by city officials that the masonry wall had to match the house, so the "Starry
Night" theme was expanded.

♫ But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you. ♫
(From
“Vincent” as written by Don Mclean, Enrico Nascimbeni and Roberto Vecchioni)

If I could own only one masterpiece, “Starry Night” would be
my choice.
