Letter "V" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 08 / Reflections and-or Street Captures
Tom's Orders for this Week's Prompts:
Starts with "V": Varmints starts with a "V". This creature in the middle of the road is one of those.
Wednesday Mrs. Jim and the Granddaughter went to the NBC Rockerfeller Plaza to watch the outside portion of the Today Show. They got there early and had chosen a good spot for televising.
Tom's choice, "Verdant": Will be the Green in this lovely Aukland, N.Z, beach, including the grass, the trees, and the Verdant little mountain in the background.
Reflections and/or Street Captures: Wednesday I was going to take a picture of our neighbor's fairly new boat. I was hoping the camera would count down so that he would be behind the truck. But he didn't quite make it. His dog did though.
Starts with "V"; A Favorite; and "V"erdant.

Alligators in the middle of the road are quite frequently encountered here in the Southeast part of Texas.
Mike, the best man at our wedding, had this Varmint posted on his Facebook. Mike lives almost on the border of Louisiana now, north a bit from here.
A Favorite: These two are part of as threesome, Mrs. Jim, our Daughter, and KP, our youngest Granddaughter are visiting New York City this week.

Mrs. Jim and I helped to get us away from our port for a cruise, a 14-day Princess Cruise of New Zealand and Australia. We would sail down the east coast of New Zealand from Auckland, stopping almost every day to explore and do our sailing at night. See more from Princess Cruises (click here). Our cruise is not available right now, we also visited Tasmania and Melbourne on our way to ending at Sydney (area map).
Lagniappe: The Countries I've visited that start with the Letter "V". (I've been to at least 76 countries):
Where First Times
Vatican City 1976 +/- on a European Grand Tour by bus - London to Rome and back to London

Great post! I'm glad I don't see varmints like that around here. I'm pretty sure the people in my photo didn't notice me. Your Italy story sounds stressful. :-)
...gators are VARMINTS for sure, I couldn't live where they do!!!
...many students here go to NYC for a class trip.
...NZ is a VERY VERDANT country, good choice.
...he adds to the picture.
Thanks Jim for stopping by, Take care.

no Varmints like that in these (Tasmania) parts but the top end of Australia does have some fearsome ones. Have a great week....hope Mrs Jim and the family enjoyed their visit!
Nice post! I'm glad we don't have to deal with alligators. Our road blocks are usually cattle enjoying a free-for-all. You asked about the horses I post. We don't own them. I claim a few as they are in the front pasture, but they belong to a friend of ours. The mamas and babies I post are owned by another neighbor. Plus there are the beauties I find on my backroad rambles. We don't want chores in our retirement years, so we gave up on owning our own. Too much work. Have a great weekend!
