Finally Florida pics

Went on two boat rides....amazing sky

Becky was picking up friends on street corners...LOL

Oopsss....pic here

And I found my prince on one

Course that's not the only place to find friends...

How cute are they?!?

One more...I couldn't resist

I thought that was a duck with Bec until I read the sign. LOL Nice prince you've got there, Chantell.

Are those dolphins? Waaaay cool.

Ok...back to your regularly schedule program...had to stop to take a call re Grandma...

Here's a Bald Eagle...I'm always amazed by them

Cheering all our DG friends...

Love rainbows

Ahhhh how amazing does this look? Was at the back of the gardens over looking the water

A beautiful tree w/broms at the entrance...

I'm fascinated by these Banyan trees

Course I need to include some of the flowers Kevin (aka Kalpavriksha on DG) was gracious enough to show us at the garden (see pics above) he works at.

More...

and more...

And of course...my new house....ROTFLOL

WOW nice pics. You did a great job capturing those dolphins. Where in Fl were you and what is the name of the gardens? New house looks big just let me know when you move in, I'll be down for a visit. LOL

Chantell, Holly and I would love to get down to that area between Tampa and Naples. We got a little taste 2 years ago. We were to spend 7-10 days camping, visiting gardens, islands, and parks, but the threat of storms limited us to day trips from my Dad's place in NPR. The west coast sunsets are the best! Ric

Nice photo, Ric!!! It IS beautiful down there, isn't it? Holly - I'm thinking we should have the next get together at "my" new place....BYOB (bring your own boat)

We can do that, Between Ric & Josh we have several to chose from. They won't be posh but they will run. LOL
I wonder how many plants I can load in Ric's boat????? I'll leave a little room for the water skis, too. We will see how many of us are standing the next day.

What a glorious sunset, Holly. Like the new house ;>) and the cool plants, Chantell.

Chantell, I think at last count Josh and I have 6 power boats, and 7 paddle your own, unless you count electric motors, which we have about 5. LOL Ric I guess we must like water. snicker,snicker. Here I come with the BYOB! LOL Holly and I like banging around in this so I can paddle and she can take her bird pics. Any excuse not to paddle.ROF
