florida state park month...

in honor of FLORIDA STATE PARKS MONTH, all state parks were free today. i took that as an opportunity to visit a few near by parks that i never seem to have time for. one of them was the Gamble Mansion in Ellenton. it was there that i spied this awesome sundial with its beautiful words.

curiosity is not just for cats...

fox squirrel

stork

baby sandhill crane

an unexpected stop...

i was driving home from a family dinner when this spectacular sunset lit up the sky... so i spontaneously decided to go to the beach... it was GORGEOUS!
