Letter "V" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 08 / Reflections and-or Street Captures

Tom's Orders for this Week's Prompts: 
     Starts with "V";  A Favorite; and  "V"erdant. 
                        _ _ _   


Starts with "V"  Varmints starts with a "V".  This creature in the middle of the road is one of those. 
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.  




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.  

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).




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.

Lagniappe: The Countries I've visited that start with the Letter "V".  (I've been to at least 76 countries):
