Yogurt Blackberry Parfait



Lately I have been on the hunt for some healthy snacks to eat. I used to eat the Fruit and Yogurt Parfait at McDonalds, but the last time I ate there I was turned off by the frozen fruit which eventually turned to mush when it thawed. I figured I could just as easily make it myself with some other tasty fruits.

All you need is some low fat vanilla yogurt, fresh fruit of your choice, and some low fat granola to top it all off. I could only do one layer as I had to use a wine glass because I don't have any fluted glasses. Next time I am going to mix some strawberries in there as well.

Ichitucknee River

Emily and I went tubing down the Ichitucknee River last Monday. I bought a cheap underwater camera to capture the good time we had. We were able to catch the tram to the midpoint and floated for about 1.5 hours utill the end.



















We floated by these people hanging out on a log. The guy asked if I had an underwater camera. I told him I did and he responded, "lucky" in a very napoleon dynamite-esque voice. So I took their picture. I am slightly bummed I accidentally had my finger over the lens.



I had to take the picture of Emily sticking her legs straight out of the water in her float.



I loved the look of the cypress knots.






Fish






The sea grass tickled my toes.

Beautiful mermaid.



Unflattering picture, but still so much fun.









Rocky cave



We stopped at a rocky alcove and asked a girl to take our picture.






Fish that you can barely see.



Turtle sunning itself.




X marks the spot. Tar Har Har Har.

Evergreen Cemetery

Emily and I stopped by Evergreen Cemetery yesterday to take pictures.























This one intrigued me because the cross is tilted. I wonder if that represents anything.



Though hard to see in a picture, I like the weeping willow design on this headstone.















This one made me curious in a sad way as his wife was never buried with him. I wonder if she remarried and is buried with her second husband instead.





















I believe they are headstones, but they could very well be markers. The engravings have well been destroyed over time.

Looks to be a handmade mosaic headstone.

Looks to be another handmade stone and ledger with pebbles around the stone.
