Delray Beach- Afternoon Showers

Delray Beach- Afternoon Showers

 

The typical South Florida summer afternoon thunderboomers are here!  They are, however, not limited to the afternoons. We’ve been seeing storm clouds on the horizon on our morning walks and often we can see the showers heading our way.

It’s been hard for all of us to focus on our walks because of the ongoing renovation of the boardwalk area.

 

 

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. Greg Anderson

 

 

 

There’s orange netting around the palm trees, chunks of concrete off to the side, and signs closing off large sections of the sidewalk.

This little guy seemed to be hanging out watching the construction or just trying to stay out of the way.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. Eckhart Tolle

I’m not sure what the new boardwalk will look like but I understand we’re getting those parking kiosks that look a bit like R2D2 whereby you can pay with an app on your phone. This will allow beachgoers to add time to the meter while sitting at the beach, rather than run on the hot sand to try to feed the meter before the parking enforcers drive by.

All of us show bias when it comes to what information we take in. We typically focus on anything that agrees with the outcome we want. Noreena Hertz

Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 revenue generators!  I'm happy to have them because it will make it easier to feed the meter without walking all the way back from the beach.

James Dray No little round ones?

I think you're right Joe Pryor So far nothing but probably later today.

Oh Barbara Todaro Now that's so much fun...family and friends getting together to celebrate.

Wayne Martin We haven't had as many thundershowers as we used to but late this week we did. Hope your area will be dry.

Gabe Sanders I agree, and I've watched the radar and sometimes the Delray area is spared but you guys up north of us really get it.

Sharon Lee don't you love those. They're Bougainvillea that I see on my morning walks.

Donald Urschalitz so glad that you got to spend time with your daughter and grandson! Now, kick back and relax.

Brian England We're waiting to see what they do to some of the covered areas that really need updating.

Hi Sheila Anderson you can bet I'm staying in. The air is so heavy it's hard to breathe.

Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents I'm used to the storms. I think it's some kind of walking stick, but very different from the ones I used to seee in Norther VA.

Good Morning Kathy - I have not been there since May but someone showed me a picture of my new lawn and garden and it is growing like crazy.

Thunder storms are somewhat foreign to me. I do enjoy a storm but some of the heavy thunder and lightening is unsettling to me.  It is what we are accomstomed to ...

Construction is always a pain to put up with, but hopefully the improvement to the boardwalk will be worth it.

Amen Kathy,

And when you are not in the present moment, you are missing out on life.  So many agree, but so few actually realize it.  A

There seems to be an app for just about everything these days.  This is a smart way to make sure your meter is fed all day long.

Kathy I was in South Carolina and they got heavy rain showers almost every evening, but it was so hot that by morning you could hardly tell it had rained, everything was dry.

It's Florida . . . . It's summer . . . . and rains every afternoon . . . . and the sun comes back out . . . . Life is good in Delray Beach Florida.

Good luck and success.

Those are all wonderful photos, Kathy.  The little bug on the pole is fascinating.  I think it may be a Walking Stick.

Great shots, Kathy! We've had tons of rain this year and our grass, thankfully, is still green. Most years, it's already brown from not enough rain! 

I hope how soon the boardwalk will be finished - and we get to see what those R2D2 kiosks look like!!  Happy Sunday!

I actually enjoy rainy days and it's pouring here today. Unfortunately I have a few errands to do, but that's ok.

Thanks for sharing your photographs and your selection of quotes.

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.
