In The Clouds Thinking As I Walk............................
Oh good. This is another day that we get to interact with other Steemians.
That is how we should view and think about each day when we post on Steemit.
I hope that it is not a chore for you when you show and tell us what you have to offer today?
Oh, I know the time factor. So just make sure that you plan for some time each day or two for your part of encouraging the Steemit family. Our posts do not have to be long and elaborate. Just a clear and easy to understand entry for us to consider and to relax to. We all need that.
Each person's life is different. That is what makes Steemit so appealing. Nothing is censored and we are free to express ourselves as we see fit.
How cool is that?
Oh yes. The power lines. How we love the power lines. (Not)
I have been wanting to show you what I see in our little town and community. The best way to do that is to walk.
Now, you do understand that if you live in a "planned development." You will not see a lot of individual choices of living. Such as this boat. I like to have the freedom of choice. But, our freedom shouldn't destroy other peoples's domain though.
Choose what adds value. Certainly not what destroys value. People have and do work hard to add value to the community. We all should think about our neighbor and how much we need them. "No man is an island unto himself" is the phrase often quoted.
What is this? Is this the start of the famed "Banyan Tree?"
Someone knows.
Take another look.
I like that idea of being able to choose so much better.
It doesn't have to be elaborate. I think that something like this is very good. I like it anyway.
And it continues. Individuality.
As we walk along. We never know what interesting sights we will see.
Just as I have been saying. Each individual chooses.
What is this??? Water and waterfowl in our community? Can you see the value of being here yet?
I like this. A natural fence. There are advantages to a natural fence.
What do you think?
Lovely.
Still in the process of being completed. People just cannot refrain themselves. They just have to be here and a part of what is so satisfying to our human needs. The need of acceptance and community.
How about you? Are you interested. Here is just one of the builders in our area.
I know what I am doing.
Creating an explosion of new construction and new members in our lovely community.
Is that what I want? Yikes.
Ha ha. Just kidding.
Do you want to buy the house I just showed to you?
If you do. Meet your new neighbors. lol
Maybe you could carve out a little space in all this area and hide your house.
See the choices? The house under construction or a lot to hide in. I like choices.
Here is another view. Shade friends. Shade. You need shade in the summer.
Trust me on that. Or a swimming pool would work well too.
There he goes again. Trespassing on our valuable time.
OK. You win. I will start shutting down for now.
Water and rocks. It is a good place to stop. I have so much more.
But, I know that tomorrow is another day.
I may not know who you are. But I know myself? Or I think I do?
My radio is always on soft love songs. It speaks to me and I believe to the human spirit.
Watch and listen to this "love song." The pain is slowly leaving and moving away.
Wanting to be set free. Such a lovely song. To me anyway.

All our lives we seek after love. But, how many "soul partners" are there in our world? From day one?
Few I see. But, we can see and know that when it appears before us. Just look around. If we are honest?
We know.............If you are with a "soul partner" for life from day one. You are truly blessed.
I don't know what brought all that to my typing fingers?
But I'll leave it just in case someone needed to see it and understand.
All of that is more than enough for now. Steemit is calling. Listen to the call. Can you hear it?
Thank you
Francis
Morning, Francis. You are up bright and early for your walk. And a beautiful day it is too! Lots of construction going on in your neighbourhood. It won't be long before your nice open spaces will all be taken up with houses. Water features in a community is a good thing. You must be living on the gulf side of Florida, somewhere near the Tampa/St. Petersberg area...

We live about 80 miles south of Tampa.
Ft Myers is about 35-40 miles away.
It is usually a little warmer here than Tampa.
But, not a lot.
The citrus trees have a better chance of surviving cold weather here.
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it.
Francis
Citrus trees are a good thing to be growing. I have kumquats, an orange, lemon and lime trees. It so good to be able to go out and pick a fresh lemon for my baked fish...
I understand. :) I love your gentle blog and your photos, I will be stopping by regularly.
Thank you. I post some about our community. And I add a little of my understanding of life.
Why do I think I could know anything about life? Years and experience.
Francis
You take marvelous photographs Mr. @francisk and you have a beautiful neighborhood! I can't help you on identifying the name of the tree but it is definitely unique and I'm sure someone will know what it is on here. Danny has relatives that live in Florida and they love it. My dad was in the military and we moved a lot when I was a small fry and I faintly remember living in Florida at one point. I responded to your comment on my post about the pumpkin seeds btw.
Thank you for your support. I do what I can. I am nothing more than someone trying to learn.
I love Florida. It is such a good place to live. Conservative and real for the most part.
Lots of older people here that knows what it takes to survive and do well.
Francis
what an experience that would have been simply outstanding natural photography.
loving to your color full photo and love to your music song.it's really helpful music in life.
have a nice day.best of luck.

Thank you. I appreciate your comments.
Francis
@francisk Another great walk :) Thank you!
"No man is an island unto himself" - this is so visible in the Steemit community, we need friends here, friends who will support us when our posts get buried under a mountain of posts about crypto news :D
You are surely right. While it can be confusing now. When the masses start signing up in great numbers.
Some will have hundreds of replies and comments. There won't be any way to properly respond. It will be just overwhelming then.
Thank you
Francis
when we watch to our surrounding , we will see the beauty . Growing #walkwithme
You are so right. There is a lot to see and most of it is good.
Thank you
Fancis
When I am able to create a good post , I will join the tags #walkwithme . Thank
Yeah...You've great experience about walking and beautiful gardening. Beauty photo clicks indeed marvelous post @francisk.
Up-Voted & Re-Steemed.
We walk in the community a lot now. It is something interesting to me. I see many new things that I didn't see before. My perspective has changed.
Thank you
Francis
Unbelievable environment pics. Beauty flowers nice gardening and Nice Sun reflection capture. More stunning with massive tree bark indeed. Florida has great cold condition again by again.Thanks for shatubg.
Yes, it is a good place to be for the winter. Two more months and the warm up starts.
We will like it then too.
Francis
I like Your local attractions. Excellent hedge, a large variety of palm tree species. You live in a very beautiful area. These unusual plants for me... I thank You, Francis , for being able to see a lot of interesting things with Your help. Thank you!!!
madlenfox
We all have something to share that the rest of the world is not able to see.
That is why Steemit is so important. We can learn about each other and the cultures we live in.
I am comfortable in mine. As I know you are in yours. And we will be able to travel in the coming years using cryptos for currency. And we will know what the price is without having to exchange to local currency. I like that.
Thank you
Francis
Pictures 8 and 9 are interesting plants.
Thank you for your comment. We all have our preferences.
