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.
