Floating along after the New Year

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - The recent high tides are getting higher.  The above photo shows our Honda Element playing water games last week on a road in Jacksonville Beach right on the coastal waterway.  There were a few puddles when we headed to the restaurant and a bit more liquid when we left.  

     This morning (1/9) it was time for a short drive to nearby Sunrise Park North.  The little blue heron (above) and the selfie with shadow (below) show the park getting back to its old self with a fair assortment of birds.  Over the past year the birds had seemed to forget about this area.
