Fair Game....

Games on Riverwalk at the YMCA Charge into summer....

All the players were fair game for my camera lens... so were the walkers and the occasional Man who photo bombed me sneaking pics of runners.

Why does he look surprised?

Remember, all if fair in love and cameras

Sherlock, what kind of rocks are these?  Sedmientary my dear Watson....

Can you name the three types of rock?   I can  Classic, Punk and Hard..... just so you know (sedimentary, metamorphic and ignenous are the real rocks)

Locomotive in Extra Small

I wanted to ride this adorable train, but alas, I am way to big. Aren't those Palms to cool?

I am sure they had a reason for having a train in the park, you know, like a loco motive..

I think having the train at the park was an engineious move..

Did you know steam locomotives have a tender behind?

Wake up people, the light at the end of the tunnel is a TRAIN...

Sounds and Sights of JOY

Yesterday I told you  this
Saturday AM, Madsnapper said to Bob, "it's a beautiful day for a walk on River walk and the ____ is having a _____ and I think it would be fun to see it." ..It was our YMCA Healthy Kids event.

Hundreds of kids got ready to “Charge into Summer” at the YMCA of Manatee County’s annual Healthy Kids event Saturday on the Bradenton Riverwalk.

  Excerpt from Bradenton Herald article by Jessica DeLeon  HERE for details.

Swinging and water splash park, bungee jumping,  dancing and a fishing clinic and much more. Can you see the JOY!!!

A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood

Saturday AM, Madsnapper said to Bob, "it's a beautiful day for a walk on River walk and the ____ is having a _____ and I think it would be fun to see it."

Bob said YES and I headed off down the walkway with my best friend.

(he had no idea I was Madly Snapping, Heh Heh Heh)

Can you see the excitement? Can you guess what we were there for? OH MY, you will never guess, but you will find out on Tuesday Post... I took 182 photos and that is all I am sayin

The Palms-Riverwalk 2016

Riverwalk in Bradenton is line with palms and places to rest.  How many of you could sit down in one of these and get back up without help? Not me.

You don't even have to grease my palm to read this story, you all come out of the woodwork each time I post... with fronds like you, I know I will always get a Yucca.

Did I hear you say I need to branch out? that I am barking up the wrong trees? Of course knot, I am knot a dumb ash.

Riverwalk 2016-Fishing Pier

East side of fishing pier looking North

This is the fishing pier on Riverwalk, downtown Bradenton. This is not the train trestlebut a fishing pier that is maybe 300 feet from the trestle.

If you were to ask me how big is this specific ocean, my answer would be,

could you be more pacific?

We live in Manatee County and this is the Manatee river, not an ocean, lake or gulf.

Can you guess where our name came from?

Did you know that playing cards in a submarine, is just so much bridge under the water?

Riverwalk 2016-Train Tracks & Trestle

As we walked along the Riverwalk I saw the train trestle up and the reflections and I thought this could be just the ticket. Snap! Snap! Snap!

I was a tad nervous about so many photos of a single track and trestle and thought I might run out of steam.

But I conducted myself well and read the sunshine as a signal to continue on. Even though there was
a chance these puns would de-rail but after proof reading and edits I decided they are first class

Bob and Sandra's Saturday Walkabout

We went for an early Saturday morning walkabout down by the river, on the path called Riverwalk that runs between two bridges and is 2.5 miles round trip.

Are you thinking that shore is a long comment?  Did you know pier pressure keeps a dock floating above water?  Are you thinking is this real life or is it just Fanta sea?

True or False... A rising tide lifts all boats.     False.. Sunken boats are unaffected by tides.

Sea, they never stop! it is just ME del-rivering more puns...
