Iguanas and Sea Shells

Day 19

Day 20

My shadow tried to grab his bill!

Day 21

Iguanas at the condo! (I took this with a cell phone out the car window) Good grief. There are parrots in Miami, wild pigs at Crew, and now, Iguanas on Lover's Key. What will I see next week?

Day 25

Day break!

Another week has slipped under the bridge. Another photo safari has ended and another begun. Thanksgiving at Docs Beach House is on the agenda and I'll probably be eating Key Lime Pie instead of pumpkin. But, I won't pass on the turkey and stuffing. It doesn't really feel like Thanksgiving without icy roads and a dusting of snow. But that's a good thing. I'll be home soon enough. Christmas will be cold.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wild Florida

Day 12

Day 13

An osprey booked a balcony next door. (I know he slept there because his head was tucked at sunrise)

Day 14

Wild pigs! They trotted uncomfortably close to me at Crew trails. I only had my cell phone (no zoom) and snapped this when they retreated. Whew.

Day 15

Day 16

Day 17

Day 18

Seven more days.

Last week's highlight was the osprey - the next balcony over. But observing all wingspans from the 12th floor is a birder's delight. One night, at sunset, an osprey approached the deck, hovering impossibly close on a thermal, turning with a big fish in toe, his silhouette back-lite by an explosion of color. (If only I'd had a camera cocked and ready!) Eagles soar faster than all others, I've discovered. Pelicans draft and vultures tip and float, soar. Black tipped wood storks and Ibis fly in flocks. Mockingbirds call from the trees below. White Egrets and Great Blue Herons stroll along the sand. Sand Pipers scuttle along.

Just like me.

Sun & Fun

Day 5

Day 6

Do you see the second critter?

Day 7

Pink stuff.

Day 8

Day 9

Day 10

Day 11

Stay tuned for more from my Flovember rental. It sure beats Minnesota: ice slicked roads, melting pumpkins, decaying leaves, naked trees, nippy air and grumpy faces. Minnesota isn't so nice in November.

Sun and sand is better - way better!

Flovember

Day 1

I'm four days into Flo-vember - my life at Lover's Key, Florida. Already, the horrors of October are receding like low tide. (If you've been paying attention, you'll know I'm a recent cancer survivor)

I'll be posting one photo for each day of November, just like last year. So stay tuned and follow my tracks!
