Stuck on skies these last couple of days - ever-changing and somewhat magical...especially when there is no danger looming. My thoughts are with those who found something much more sinister in the atmosphere the last couple of days. Orlando, FL

Simple - just that blue sky and power lines, but after a full day of conferencing, my brain is on overload. Every year there seems to be a popular unintentional 'theme' at Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC) - this year it is BYOD/BYOT. Like so many other concepts, there are many twists to the meaning of BYOD/BYOT....which certainly gives plenty of opportunities for sessions, but I think some of them 'stretched' the meaning quite a bit. Anyway, there's much for my mind to process, so blue and diagonal lines are my 'ohm' for today! :)

Heading west with this gorgeous view and hoping for a 'break thru'...on 520 between Cocoa and Orlando, FL

Mondays always beg for evidence of a good sense of humor. This signage is outside the new Chapel Grill - a restaurant housed in the restored First Baptist Church. It was quite the transformation, as the sixty-five year old church also hosted the Senior Center Health Clinic prior to this latest renovation. Their popularity is evident with people waiting outside - not sure if it is due to the culinary delights or the possibility of divine intervention. :) 7th Ave S & 8th St, Naples, FL

Supporting the Cancer Alliance of Naples (CAN), this rider heads to join others for the 7th Annual Moe's Bike Brunch at Lowdermilk Park. This weekend was really full of great events and fundraisers (missed Chalk Art, but got a couple of shots this morning before the traffic ensued) - they are planned now for the good weather, but also to tap into our seasonal visitors needs (and perhaps, pocketbooks, as well)! :) Banyan Blvd & Gulfshore Blvd, Naples, FL

Breakfast at First Watch restaurant after Run for the Paws - a tradition - and we couldn't have asked for a better morning...nor event. There were more than 500 runners/walkers and probably 100 or more dogs participating with a starting temperature of about 60 degrees. Ahh...this almost makes me feel like I'm on vacation, but back to work I go! ;) Banyan Blvd & Gulf Shore Blvd, Naples, Fl

Season is in full swing...this weekend alone there's the boat show and an outdoor art show downtown, Race for the Paws (my personal favorite!) and the Naples Wine Festival, which brings in celebrity chefs and some of the wealthiest folks around to donate more than 10 million dollars for educational and other charities (too rich for my blood). It isn't 'safe' for the natives to drive the major arteries nor head to local restaurants for the next two to three months, but we will share - really no other choice! :). Naples, FL
