about javajoe

Need to contact me? Just send an email to javajoesPictureoftheDay@gmail.com!

 

Smile a lot -- it makes people wonder what you're up to! I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and that will always be my home. Now I'm into computer technologies -- it drives me crazy sometimes, but I love it. 

Since joining GOLO, I've decided to start a Picture of the Day blog. Each day, I'll try my best to post a photo from my personal collection. While I'm at it, I'll ask a few questions or make a few comments to get your brains working and the conversation started. Everybody has a story to share -- feel free to share yours!

  • javajoe's Picture of the Day archives.
    • Here, you'll find all of my Picture of the Day posts from the past. Even if the day has already passed, stop in and share your comments - I'd love to hear them.
  • javajoe's Picture of the Day Group
    • Join the group to keep up with my daily blog post. Sometimes I post at 1-2AM, and by the time many of you login, my blog has disappeared from the GOLO homepage. So join the group, and easily find the link directly to my blog each day after I post!

favorites

favorite music: anything that is easily understandable. songs with gaps after every word after being censored? no thanks...

favorite movies: oldies but goodies, classics - in other words, maybe 1-2 movies that come out each year nowadays

favorite hobbies: photography, computers, googling, keeping up with the news

favorite tv shows: the news, almost any comedy, lost

favorite restaurants: my kitchen - there's always something available and ready to eat, no gas mileage involved

favorite web sites: www.wral.com of course

favorite vacation spots: anywhere with a load of stuff to photograph

thank you for the pic comment and you have a wonderful Sunday...

Sesame Street was a blast! Both of the kids LOVED it! Of course the FREE tickets turned into:

$10 for parking

$15 for a "spinning Elmo light"

$25 for a set of 8 miniature Sesame Street figures

$13.50 for one hot dog, fries and two drinks

LOL! I think I spent just as much time watching the kids' faces as I did the stage! As a matter of fact I need to download the photos.

Hope you're having a great weekend! This heat is killing me...

It's the magical horse poo...I am telling you I swear by that stuff. My neighbor was so jealous of my tomatoes he came over to get a bucketful to put around his. His are about thigh high and mine over 4 feet tall...and he was like amazed at the size of my squash leaves...he does not like any squash though *LOL* My Father n Law gets depressed looking at my Garden because his is not doing good...when they come up on the 13th he is going to bring back some with him and try again. I keep teasing Dave...the horses owner...he has a gold mine in horse poo...he should sell that stuff *LOL* if you were not so far away I could get you some too.

Okay really off to bed...long day tomorrow...ending with a Sports Banquet for Track...even though Stephanie did not finish the Season she is still wanted there

I've watched Mockingbirds do the wing thing many times. It sure looks like a turf thing to me. They don't play when it comes to their area, especially their nest. Thanks for sharing

re:Gizmo looks like a handful!!!

You have no idea.

He thinks he`s one of the big boy`s...lol

Hello!

I like that you have googling listed as a hobby. I google everything! If I come across something I am not familar with, you can bet I will be googling it by the end of the day!

They eat crawfish by the bucket in Tampa. I couldn't do it when I lived there. Just didn't feel right, and looked rather disgusting. Remind me to stay away from your backyard! Thanks for all the great pics you post. -Angela

Hey Java...hope you are having a great evening...I am sorry I had to do another Hummingbird Photi Gallery...because the other is on front page of Golo I can't add to the other...if you want to delete I totally understand BUT Please let me know so I can add it in my Profile Gallery instead...Thank You!!! *HUGS*

That is sweet of you!!! I just did not want to step on toes or have you think I was trying to take over *smiles* BUT like you enjoy sharing Nature and it's beauty.

I just picked my first yellow cherry tomato and my Hubby ate that down quick...did not even give me a chance to take a picture of the first harvest *LOL* Also just picked my first Zucchini...should be picking some Yellow Squash this weekend or tomorrow.

Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

I laughed at that picture of Fred and the bubble the first time I saw it too. Fred and Savannah look enough alike to be twins, except even as puppies, she does look more girly in the face. Fred's Dad sent me the picture of them as pups just yesterday. My baby is on the left with corn silks in her mouth. They haven't seen eachother since I picked Savannah up when she was 7 weeks old. She did go back to the farm with us when we went to get Magic, and got to see her Mom Holly again. The two of them laid down facing eachother, nose to nose. Holly was in her kennel in the barn, and we were in the common area in the barn. Now, that would've been the shot to get, and believe me I tried, but Holly wasn't posing for pictures that day. You know where Savannah gets all that Princessness from! LOL

By the way, I added the rest of the pictures of the girls siblings today, if you want to check them out.

Hey Joe - My wife picked our first green beans and squash yesterday and we had a wonderful garden meal of cut-off corn, green beans, pintos and ham, spring onions and cornbread last night. Sure was good! Our squash plants are tremendous this year. My boys did the planting, so they are really proud. Can't wait for okra and tomatoes.

Joe, it takes 24 hours for a video to be approved, to the best of my memory. It has been a while since they rolled out that feature - things could have changed. If it has been 48 hours on business days, I would Post to Angela's profile or email her. Give her a heads up that the video has been loaded. Please let me know the outcome. if I am wrong, I do not want to give other's bad advice. Thanks!

I was looking at it earlier...wonderful picture and I really enjoyed the close up of the Hummingbirds!!! Mine are allowing me to get closer and closer as each day comes and goes...one brushed my Daughter's Boyfriend hair the other day when he was on the front porch and I started laughing...I said you wanted that ear pierced Right??? His eyes lit up *LOL*

OMG the squash is wonderful!!! I had 3 spoonfuls with dinner tonight!!! My son could not get enough of it as my one Daughter and Husband.

Thank you so much, Javajoe! Stop by if you get the chance, we would love to see you. :)

Well Thank you very much! That was nice of you!

Thanks Joe. Everything is going pretty well right now. I hope so for you as well. Have a great Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by! Every thing has been great for me. Any week with a job and a roof over my head, is a good week for me! I hope that all is well for you as well!

things are going pretty good here...just busy at work. thanks for asking!

how are things going your way?

thanks for dropping by the site. I'm having a bad day on golo with hockey again. Taht person rather torture me than eat. You have a good week ahead and keep that camera handy.

Hey,glad you stopped by.Hope all is going well with you.Nice to hear from nice people like you.

Hey thanks Joe,

and now you gots 383

lol

You have a good one too ya hear!

Hi Java!!! Great pictures you had last night as usual!!! Any plans for you today??? I am getting my usual done...hoping it will cool down a bit later and I will get outside to pull some weeds...may not wait til it cools though *LOL* My Children are out laying in the pool.

So far so good here, thank you. =) Hope your Tuesday is going great and the rest of the week goes even better. =)

That's one thing I loved about South Florida. In the history of the Farmer's Almanac, not once has Miami ever reached 100 degrees (not counting heat index). I didn't believe that until I contacted them and asked, lol. And sure enough, it is true. It is humid there, but after living in NC and dealing with the heat index getting up to 119, Florida was a piece of cake, lol. And the evenings were so nice I could turn off the a/c and open the windows. I miss it. =) But, you can keep the snow, lol. I don't mind it for a day or so, but then I am done with it. =)

The storms are all South of me so far...Garner, Raleigh, and Smithfield that are showing up at...still sun blazing here.

I will get out there and take pictures soon...I want one with me and the Tomato Plants so people can see how high they are...they are over my eyes *LOL*

This explosion is terrible Huh??? They are getting threatened by a storm now...like they need this on top of all that going on

lol, sorry. =) Where I stayed was actually a part of Miami. Homestead....only 18 miles from Key Largo. Close enough to the beach that there was plenty of breeze and the storms would roll in and last maybe 30 minutes then sunshine the rest of the day.

I loved the culture there too. So many different races and people from other countries. I loved sitting outside and listening to the music and people having parties in the evening. And we had several fruit trees. Mango, starfruit, orange, key lime, ackee, lychee and avocado. To me, that's paradise. =)

lol,

yeah I see what your saying..

but the saddest part of it all is that most of the Goloers are on Golo during there Jobs!

HA!

that is crazzy!

Hi Joe -

Am so blessed you stopped by my profile. What a lovely comment. Thanks so much.

Did you get to see the pic of our new house? I am so excited to get out of this dump where we're living.

Thanks again you lovely man, and many blessings throughout the week for you and yours too.

God bless.

RB

Yep! And don't forget the lounge chair, lol. =)

Hey Joe - thanks for stopping by to say HI. Tuesday is going well, and I hope Wednesday will be even better... hope your Tuesday is a ton-o-fun!! :-)

lol

lets just say its my personal experience(sp)

LOL, yes that one is needed to be able to eat those delicious Cuban breads, Jamaican Beef Patties, Coconut Water, and all the other goodies.

If you get a Costco membership, they have finally started selling the Jamaican Beef Patties (slightly spicy) in a box of about 10. They are soooooooooo good! When I moved to South Florida, I learned quickly how to make other ethnic foods, as my ex husband is Chinese Jamaican, lol. I ate things I thought I would never try and loved it. (Oxtail Stew, for ex.). And I learned to make sushi, lol.

BTW, there is an Asian Grocery in Garner (or just inside Raleigh) on US 70. It is just down from the Home Depot and behind the Cook Out drive-thru. Huge building and they have asian and spanish groceries there. =)

Your kind words have been such a blessing to me today.

You are such a dear sweet person, and I pray to meet you in person one day.

God bless dear friend.

RB

yvw =)

Hi Joe, thanks for stopping by. Yup, everything is going great here. Hope the same for you and yours.

I think I like your flag pic the best. :)

Hey Joe, thanks for the drop in. I`ve been on/off cutting the back yard today,but doing pretty good.

I hope everything is good your way and have a great week :)

its going wonderful! Thanks for "stopping by"! (((HUGS))) How have you been?

I was actually on the beach yesterday morning. I want to go back!

Hey Javajoe,I worked last night and didn't get in in time to join the AM hugfest.I do enjoy the morning warmth from you folks and Sandra's posts are a great way to start or finish a day. I am so pleased at the compliments I've received on my pictures from several of you. It makes me feel good that so many actually enjoy my pictures.How long have you been using the camera you use now?You make some amazing shots.My husband sent me pictures I would love to show on GOLO.One has a little bird sitting on a post with a large snake inches away,mouth open.It is amazing.How long have you been photographing?

Hi Javajoe!!! I'm doing great - just running around like crazy lately, trying to get ready for the end of school (sigh...!), working on the new novel and keeping the ship going at home. :) I always sooo enjoy looking at your photos! You are definitely skilled and so gracious to share your work with us.:) I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Hi Joe! It's good to "hear" from you! I've had a marvelous day, and I hope you have too. Have a great evening!!

We know those 100 degree days are coming, and hope and pray the AC doesn't knock off!

I need to cut the grass, but it's too hot, even at the beach!!

I know what you mean about the humidity it is terriable.Thank you for your kind words.It is nice people like you that keep me here.You are one nice and kind person.Please stop by often it is a pleasure to hear from you .

Hey java, hope u doing well :)

joe I always look at your great pics. I am normally up until mid-night or later, so often I see them right after you post them. Keep it up pal, and thanks, J

Hey Javajoe. Doing good. Working alot. But I love it. I hope that you are well. Are you thinking of new ideas for Christmas yet? I have one, I am going to have to clue you in.

Hey Java, trying to stay bizy & out of trouble, lol! Looking forward to visiting our son & dnl @ the beach in two weeks. Its great golfing weather BTW!! HAHA!
