John Prince Park, Lake Worth,FL

Howdee all,

We are now in Lake Worth, Florida..

We were lucky enough to get one of our favorite campsites at John Prince Park campground.

I leave my windows open at night so that I can see the sunrise in the morning..

and if it’s a nice one I go out and take a few photos..All of these photos are taken with my Itouch..using the HDR app

and a Video app.The flying bird in the photo below is one of the resident LimpkinJeff takes Ballie out for a strollBallie seems happy here and likes to go out occasionally to munch on the grass..Jeff and I like to walk early in the morning before it warms up..it was 66 when we started walking this am…and its now in the 80sIts a very nice park for being in the middle of a city…West Palm Beach is nearby…A long canal in the park…

A short video clip of the park…

This flowering shrub is in the park…anyone know what it is?

Wood stork and IbisA very interesting tree…

The weather continues to be beautiful…warm and sunny. The park is full of retirees escaping the cold. Many Canadians speaking French. I will take a few more pics of the park so you can see its quite a busy RV park…not just a lake and trees:)

Birding Merritt Island NWR

Howdee all,

While at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival

I skipped one of the classes I signed up for to spend the day birding with the gals.

Linda, Melanie and DonnaWe went to Merritt Island NWR

We started out on the Refuge driveStopping on our way for a photo opt with a Great EgretWe drove to the beach…And took a stroll…Fisherman lined the beach…Little Sanderlings chasing food…Jelly fish..looked like beached UFOs A Grackle hanging out at the beach…We then took Gater creek road to see what we could seeWe spied a Wood stork in the grass..So, we stopped to get close up photos..Roseate Spoonbills..A beautiful warm day in Florida…Tropical paradise…We spent at least a half hour watching this Osprey…

who didn’t seem to know how to adjust itself to eat the fish…It finally flew away with its catch…Our last stop for the day was the park behind the college where the festival took place…It was close to sunset….see the Vultures in the trees?

Turkey and Black VulturesA Great Egret takes on a Golden hue as the sun starts to set..White Ibis feeding in the evening light…A sweet ending to a LOVELY day with friends
