Dinosaurs!
Everyone is used to my pictures of veggies and flowers from the garden. While those things are beautiful, I think they get kind of boring after a while. I wanted to add something whimsical to the pictures that can still highlight the scenery and natural beauty while also adding an element of fun and interest. I considered a few options like a Barbie (too many outfits and accessories), a gnome or troll (not really my thing), a black cat or beagle, etc. I ultimately landed on dinosaurs. I have always loved dinos and had dinosaur toys as a kid. I knew that I would have the most fun with dinos and Florida has kind of a natural prehistoric look AND dino toys are cheap and awesome looking. So, ultimately an easy choice. Now I might have a couple of dinos in my bag for whatever adventure I might be heading to next. Here are some of my favorites:

The dinos also come with me on my state and local park adventures. Part of the fun for those that know the parks well, is trying to figure out where the vignettes take place.

The dinos also love to have a good time and be a little silly (you can thank Jeff for most of the silliness)
