MT DORA, FL - - It was the hottest weekend of the year...so we decided to go camping. Actually, we had reservations a month ago and this was the weekend of the Mt. Dora bicycle festival which has been going on for about 25 years. Trimble Park, which has a nice campground, is located 4 miles from town. We had a campsite right on the edge of Lake Carlton. There were plenty of birds around including three peacock at a fancy house a ways up the road who only seemed to come out at dusk.The Blue Heron above wasn't meant to be soft-focus but this was shot at dusk and looked interesting so here it is. Right nearby but in more light was this Ibis. They usually don't hang out on dock posts but this youngster apparently wanted to be different.
