Caution Alligators!


Yep, we are here in Florida.....! 
But, I haven't seen one of them, they must have been hiding out in the shade somewhere....



A pretty park with a nice and long path around the lake, 
a good way to do our daily walk as a little workout.



 In the lake were not only alligators, there were hundreds of small and big fishes.... 



...and we saw a lot of "snake head" turtles in all sizes.....



...and hundred's (!) of Ibises were walking all over the place and they were even sitting up in the trees. I'll show you a picture of that another day - it looks really funny.... they are very busy birds, always picking in the ground for food and walking fast.... here I caught them picking those little fishes out of the water. 



Hi my friends,

we took a ride to the beach and to that nice park area where I shot all those pictures - and many more :-))
It was a beautiful, hot Florida afternoon, for once without that every day afternoon rain showers.

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures too - I had big fun to make them.
Have a great Tuesday afternoon!

Remember the warmer days in Florida

The picture shows pelicans flying over the waves at Cocoa Beach.



Hi my friends,

The best thing on the cold days we have just now in Florida is: the sun is back again!
It's still not warm enough as it should be, but it's getting better. There are still some cold days ahead.

I worry much more for our animals and plants. I heard stories about the manatees, sea turtles and iguanas who are suffering and dieing from these freezing cold temperatures. People are helping to rescue them all over Florida and they even open up again old electric plants, so the animals can come to warm up in the warm waters there. Sea turtles get washed to the shores, they cannot swim anymore in this cold temperatures. People help to collect them, bring them to shelters where they get good care and warm water to warm up again.
