Small ‘Gators

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”!

Animal Kingdom Lodge with zoom

This afternoon we visited Animal Kingdom Lodge to enjoy lunch at Sanaa, and I took my high zoom Sony camera to take animal photos – of which there were quite a few (this is cut down from all the photos I took!) …

At one point all the animals spotted a truck delivering food, and all headed the same way to intercept!

Finally, here’s photos of the excellent food we had for lunch!

Road Trip: X6 first 1000 miles

Back from a short vacation we took to the gulf coast, my new X6 passed 1000 miles and is proving to be very economical, fuel wise – filling up today after the trip, the car averaged 27.5mpg on the full tank (driving 563 miles), and according to the car we achieved 34mpg on the drive yesterday (which was a 100 mile trip at a steady 70+/- with few traffic jams)!
