Margaret & Ian's life together, including Ian's MINIs!
With recent cooler weather, Manatees in central Florida head to the warmer water at Blue Spring State Park and so do many people including us today! The official count when we got there was 474 Manatees, and we were thrilled to see lots of activity too. Here’s both photos, and video …
Last night, even in the cold (for Florida) and windy weather, I went outside multiple times as the Moon was eclipsed by Earth, taking photos – with no tripod set up, it was a little tricky; and I stopped once I got the first full eclipse picture (past bed time!); but I’m quite pleased with the results … (click any image for bigger version)
The first car show of 2019, and a few cars that I’ve not seen here before – including something that looked a lot like an old Fiat, but wasn’t!
Today Margaret and I took my Dad and Valerie to Winter Park for lunch, and then on a boat tour through the chain of lakes around Winter Park – a lovely tour through beautifully clean water, with views of some amazing homes and other buildings. As always, here’s lots of photos of our day:
Today’s cooler weather nevertheless was warm enough to tour Fort Zachary Taylor – we went to the beach there too, but not in the ocean! We did get to watch Pelicans …
We also walked the full length of Duval Street, busy with tourists, and took a photo of “the southernmost point of USA” (not bothering to stand in the long queue!), and watched many chickens crossing the road …
Today we all took an Everglades tram tour , a two hour ride among many Alligators and wild birds (and a Python!) with various good views. Just like Lake Apopka, here’s the views and birds first …
And here’s the Alligators; all much the same as those around Winter Garden!
Finally, a few pictures of Fish, Turtles, and the Burmese Python:
Today Margaret and I drove the “Alligator Trail” with two cameras, for even more chances to capture great Alligator and bird views – and we were well rewarded, too!
Here’s some general views, as well as birds …
And here’s all the Alligators, spotted all along the trail – except the pond by the pump house where we expected to see them all!
