Most of my posts are about pleasant things -- with the occasional rant about things that perturb me!

Art Basel, 2013

 
This fool was sitting ON the artwork texting.  Like, the 300 benches in the park weren't good enough to sit on!

 
Yes, that IS a full-sized tanker!

Morning with Manatees

I was so honored to stroll among these endangered beauties today at Blue Spring State Park.  There were over a hundred manatees in the park today, all seeking a little warm water!  There were a lot of mothers with calves. 

Such sweet babies!!

WHAT A FACE!







Blue Spring State Park

It is impossible to have a bad day at this gorgeous state park.  I love the serenity here.  There is a beautiful boardwalk where you can peacefully stroll along the St. John's River.  You hear lots of birds, and the moss in the trees is beautiful!


 
I love all this moss!

 
A pretty color among all the green!

 
This is the GOOD LIFE!

Ha ha.  He was SO cute!

(I was hoping it was an Ivorybill, but if it was I would have seen an extinct bird!)

Everybody is under the watchful eye of this gator!
