Brass Bowl

This awesome creation pictured below is a product of the Greater Florida LEGO Train, on display in the Region’s building at 100 North Tampa Street. 

Setup as part of a fundraiser for the Glazer Children’s Museum, this display is a jaw dropper.  The attention to detail is unsurpassed, and is sure to excite the minds of kids of all ages. 

The last ten days have been some of the wettest I have seen outside of a tropical storm.  And it has curtailed my walks at lunch time, which reduces the amount of flotsam I am able to document.  Luckily, Pepper snapped these photos when a family of Sandhill Cranes landed in a horse arena.  The birds seemed to enjoy the soft rain as they picked up bugs from the water soaked field. 

While out for a walk a week or so ago (before the sky opened up),  I came face to face with this little fella outside of city hall.  He gave me quite the verbal lashing, chastising me for sneaking up on him and disturbing his lunchtime foraging. 

The following plaque is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Madison Street and the Marion Street Transitway.  It documents  Baldomero Lopez, a Tampa native who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor (posthumously) during the Korean War.

A fellow cube dweller shared her latest vegetable acquisition.  A 4 lb zucchini.  Now that is some flotsam, not to mention a lot of zucchini bread, and then some.  Anyone got any recipes?
