Today, I'm feeling green

Gecko costumes.  Hiding out in a hibiscus...so, today I want to be green

 

Cape Canaveral national seashore

Almost  looks like we got lost

 

In the early morning light

Sunrise breaks the cloud cover

Anhinga with moorhen not too still life

Iris likes the sunshine

 

Discovering a new side of Orlando Wetlands

Watch where you walk

Sandhill crane dance steps

Early morning at the Wetlands

The new boardwalk at OW takes the visitor to many new areas

The seldom seen Purple Gallinule

 

Snowy egret in flight

Soaring

Landing area in sight

Scrub speed for landing

Prepare for touch down

CHRISTMAS, FL - - Orlando Wetlands Park
 

Thawing out bit by bit

 ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Now that I'm finally thawing out from our polar expedition to North Carolina during the Christmas holidays, it was time to check the neighborhood.  It's mid-January and, like years past, about 50% of the homes which had holiday decorations or lights still have them up.  Why take the decorations down when there's a nice chill in the air.  And the ocean is cold enough that not even those brave folks from Montreal are in the water yet they do set out beach chairs despite a very stiff breeze.  In all just another sunny day in paradise for those folks escaping snow shovels and drifts.
