It's a beautiful month in the neighborhood.
Full moon -- rising and shining across the canal from our dock area.
All the trails at at the Nature Park next door were dry last Sunday when I walked there -- but the added sign at the bottom of the usual ones tells you that the winter here was a little wetter than usual (here in SW Florida, the dry season is supposed to be winter -- the rainy season, late spring and summer).
The fence is a little bit out of the immediate neighborhood -- another bit of whimsicality from Pine Island.
The day after I took the night-time full moon shots in the first picture, I went for a morning walk -- and there was the almost full moon again -- peeking at me from the other side of the Canal Cottage. I always feel like a morning moon is a bit of magic!

Great moon photos! I've never taken a moon pic nearly as good as any of these. As to the rain, we are still waiting for autumn, winter, AND spring...

Dearest Sallie; Wonderful collage of Beautiful different Moon☆☆☆ (Thanks for the idea p:-) The sign with the cute yellow boots gave me a smile♡♡♡ OH, how unique the fence is and I wish I had "Nature Trail" to enjoy walking.

Fantastic shots of the moon as well as the other lovely scenes.

The moon is reluctant to leave sometimes.

Lovely moon shots! The morning moon is my favourite, you've caught the almost eerie enigmatic feeling of a new dawn.
Thanks for sharing the beauty.....have a great week Sallie!

Nice variety of shots, my friend! The moon is amazing and that fence is so unique!

I like that odd looking fence. It had a certain beauty. :)
Rain? We had a lots of wet snow yesterday. Not fun at all :(

It always seems a little fascinating somehow that we all look at the same moon no matter where we are in the world. It's a sort of unifying factor in a way.

the moon images are mesmerizing....really spectacular!!! i love all the whimsy you find in your neck of the woods, i like being around creative energy!!!
and i like cute signs, the one with the boots fits that description!!!
Posted by: Debbie | April 29, 2016 at 06:04 AM
I like that fence - and I love that full moon! Wonderful.
Posted by: Penny | April 28, 2016 at 07:12 PM
I see a bad moon rising. (Although this looks like a good moon, I heard that song today and your post made me think of it.) Nice shots!
Posted by: Al | April 28, 2016 at 05:15 PM
Wow, I love that morning moon, and yes, a magical feel for sure!

Beautiful moon shots.

Hi Sally. Sugar may be a major villain in the American diet. Sugar couples with lack of exercise leads to a long list of health problems. Obesity is certainly one of them. Sugar pollutes the environment and kills people. Thanks for your comment on my Central Josefita post.

Ooh la la love that moon shot. You live the best of both worlds.

Love the Moon collage and that is unusual fence
Posted by: Margaret Birding For Pleasure | April 28, 2016 at 01:42 PM
Great post. The fence was so different but I really liked it. Also the sign was a good one and a good warning to be cautious. Loved your morning moon shot at the end.

I love the moon shots Sallie
Posted by: Ramblingwoods | April 28, 2016 at 11:12 AM
Had to smile at the wetness! Already twice this week we had a hail storm. Have to get used to this up and down weather - in the mountains everything seems much more up or down than in the valley. Love these fences - so different! And your moon pics are amazing:)
Posted by: Jesh StG | April 28, 2016 at 11:05 AM
Great pics, I love your last moon photo. I also love morning moon photos.
Posted by: Yogi | April 28, 2016 at 10:46 AM
Beautiful photos of the full moon and the very unique fencing.
Posted by: nancy chan | April 28, 2016 at 09:24 AM
Wonderful wonderful moon sights. I never can capture it very well. Loved that most unique and interesting fence.
Posted by: LaVoice | April 28, 2016 at 08:05 AM
Beautiful photos, Sallie, and I also love how you have displayed them!
Posted by: Linda | April 28, 2016 at 07:56 AM
Lovely picrures ! I would need the sign here for all the streets of the country !
Posted by: Gattina | April 28, 2016 at 07:22 AM
Your Moon shots are awesome and I too watched that full moon rise over our lake. There is very little that can compare to it. And your whimsical fence is a classic ... somebody put a lot of thought and work into it. Very nice, Sallie ...

How nice to see the various moon shots. I like them in your fine collage format.
Morning moon can be very pleasant. Though I haven't experienced it much, being a night owl, if I had my way :)
I like the pillars used for the fence. Very nice!
Great shots, Sallie!
Peace :)

Ticks in Florida, or not? I love the fence and the house that goes along with it. It seems to me that you find the very best things in Florida.
Posted by: Nan | April 27, 2016 at 06:15 PM
Your pictures of the moon are gorgeous!
Posted by: Lois | April 27, 2016 at 05:08 PM
Nice that they remind you about boots for when it is actually wet!
Posted by: RedPat | April 27, 2016 at 02:36 PM
the sign is a good reminder to wear boots. gorgeous shot of the moon!
Posted by: Nonnie | April 27, 2016 at 01:55 PM
LOVE these moon shots--a full moon in the morning is a good omen for sure! I'm itching to go hiking--but Im stuck here doing chores and projects right now..
Posted by: Sondra-SC | April 27, 2016 at 01:44 PM
The purple thing in that garden looks like it might grow to eat Cleveland. Interesting photos.
Posted by: Taken For Granted | April 27, 2016 at 01:22 PM
I need that sign for the back part of our property. We've had the wettest April on record here. Love the moon photos!!
Posted by: Florence | April 27, 2016 at 01:21 PM
Love the moon shot and the fence...pretty neat design.

Hello, Sallie! Beautiful captures of the moon. I like that cute fence too. The trail looks like easy walking. Great post. Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
Posted by: Eileen | April 27, 2016 at 12:27 PM
So many wonderful moon scenes. magical. And adore the style of the whimsical fence. Someone has a creative imagination. The garden and fence seems to complement each other. And the trail sign is quite a clear warning.
Posted by: Gemma Wiseman | April 27, 2016 at 12:15 PM
Love the moon-photos
Posted by: Jedidja | April 27, 2016 at 12:07 PM
If you have too much rain send some up to me.
Posted by: tom the backroads traveller | April 27, 2016 at 11:43 AM
We don't ever need that wellie sign in the UK. No need to explain why.
Posted by: Phil | April 27, 2016 at 11:23 AM
Moon glow! Lovely, Sallie. I like that fence, too. One can find lots of strange or off-beat stuff here in Florida. Must be the weather. :)
Posted by: Lowell | April 27, 2016 at 11:03 AM
What lovely views! I can but dream-we are having rain/hail showers and freezing nights just now :).
Posted by: Hazel | April 27, 2016 at 11:00 AM
Wonderful shots of the moon and unique fence. You sure have a lit of interesting sights in FL.
