Shannon Till has sponsored a second annual car stroll in nearby Oakland and, like last year, I headed over to admire the cars and take some photos …
I was particularly impressed with the Captain Marvel theme of this vehicle …
The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation has regular history displays at their museum location downtown, and last night had a talk by Tom Sorrells (one time local meterologist) entertainingly introducing the weather topic, and with information about the frequency of hurricanes, tornadoes, etc in our area … of course I took some photos!
After the talk we adjourned next door to the museum to take a look at their weather displays, up for this month … it was a shock to see information about the 1998 tornado that hit right in Winter Garden (I’d not heard of it before!)
We took a trip to Oakland Nature Preserve yesterday, and spotted three or four small alligators in the water either side of the boardwalk close to Lake Apopka … took a few photos, and a short video as well. There was also an amazing bird box taken over by bees that apparently had run out of room inside and were building an “annex”!
