Nature Coast Sunset

For those of you that remember the "Old Florida" may I invite you to take a look at the Nature Coast.  Homosassa, Crystal River-- take a step back to the Florida of old.  Yes, the beaches are free, pristine, clean and talk about the beauty of a west coast sunset- well, just take a look.  These shots were taken at Fort Island Trail park. 

 

And the day setting is not so bad either!

Nature on Florida's Nature Coast

We had a friendly visitor on my second morning there.  Right in the front yard of my parents home was this large turtle.! 

 

 

Lone Island Park had this little lizzard just sunning himself.

 



This crane had a plan-- not only was he not afraid of all the folks around he was--------------

 

Waiting for this fisherman to have a catch!  Everytime the pole was tossed back- the crane literally crained his neck to check out the line.......I dont think I have laughed that hard in a long time!

 

This heron was taking in the view along the road on a small bridge in Ozello

 

 

Guess I spooked him!

 



Florida's Tarpon Springs

Met my dear friend Dawn and her husband Rick in Tarpon Springs on Sunday.

Had a fabulous greek lunch, did some shopping and a lot of catching up!
