Dock Near Celebration Hotel



We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.

Fuller was speaking with a wisdom that we will all be learning before long.

How very true. I learned this many years ago building a house while living in it and doing without water for a year. I learned a lot about many things. Thought-provoking post George.

Now this is where I could be! Sittin' right there on one of those benches - daydreaming.
This one makes me feel very peaceful - gorgeous George!

George Townboy said...

Annie: He was indeed!

Janice: Those Fullers know everything! Thanks, Janice.

Carletta: I have graduated from Cute to Gorgeous?? THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! LOL ... I agree, this town is so peaceful and relaxing.

Water, water, everywhere,
All for us to see,
Brought to us by a dear
Known as George Town-B!

Thanks, and you're welcome!

George Townboy said...

Lynette: You are very cool! And sweet.

Lynette said...

Thanks, George. Backatcha!

I just put this comment on my blog, and I wanted to share it with you, too.

Guess what I found out earlier today and completely forgot until just now? Those lovely lavender flowers from yesterday are called pig squeak! Marsha, a friend at work told me all about it, and I found this online, too: This plant gets its common name, Pig Squeak, from the sound the leaf makes when rubbed between two fingers.

How coincidental is this? One day, it's Pig Squeak. The next day it's a sex-ay swine--thanks, WendyB!

Yes, very true - and enjoyed the water jet shots. Brought back memories of a trip to florida a decade ago - great novelty then.

I hesitate.
I will make a turn of pedal boat alone or I invite this young lady on the bench (but she leaves her telephone)

Jilly said...

Thomas Fuller got it right! Another beautiful art photo. Perfect for today's theme.

George Townboy said...

Lynette: That is too cool!!

Julie: It was a novelty then ... I remember NOT wanting my kids running through it, lol.

For me, Blogging is like treasure hunting. I discovered your Cartoon Blog today ... what a find!! Thank you.

Bergson: I knew you had an eye for the ladies!

Jilly: Thank you so much!

Water is everywhere today! Thank you for visiting ArradonDP!

Janet said...

I'd love to be sitting on the dock of that bay or river or whatever.

Dorothée said...

This is such a poetical post! Both the picture (which seems to happen in another era) and the wise quote.
Bravo!
