Our reasons for loving Florida...........


People come to Florida for the warm climate, the white sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and ocean breezes. Some come to the fantasy world of Disney, Universal Studies, etc. Others come for golf, tennis, fishing, Spring Training major league baseball, or gambling.  And, more come just to relax around the pool!

While we take in many of the above activities our real love for the Sunshine State is what we find in our backyard, a Florida wetland preserve with an abundance of God's creation and beauty.....

This Winter we purchased a "high bar" with chairs so we may sit,  look at God's birds and critters while they may see us........

Every morning, we mediate and have a cup of coffee as nature wakes up in front of our eyes.....
In the evening, we hash over the days events sipping a glass of wine and watching the sun set in the West....

Really, it could not get any better !!!!!!!

A typical morning!


And, they watch us too!

How is this for a greeting!!!!

                                    If we are going to eat, we think they should too!
Male and female!

                                              A Eurasian collared Dove drops by!
                                              Mr. Hawk,  our neighborhood policeman!

 From time to time, when we have guests, the Crane Family comes over for a visit too!
The proud mother shows off her chicks.
Another embracing neighborhood couple !

A not so friendly neighbor who likes to keep to himself! That is good!

A toast as the day comes to a close...

The sun sets on another Florida day !
