A Florida Walk

morning thunderstorm from my parent's back porch

favorite park from my childhood

 a home in my old neighborhood

spanish moss...sigh

the woods

 the trail

The day after Christmas started with a heavy morning thunderstorm.

As is typical of Florida, the weather quickly cleared.

My brother and I have started the tradition of taking a walk 

through the woods behind our old neighborhood.

This time we tried a new trail...so beautiful.

We also took a drive around Lake Alice and saw a small Alligator, maybe 3 1/2 feet long.

For some reason it feels odd if I don't catch a glimpse of a gator while home!

I returned with three different types of acorns filling my pocket.

What a great day.
