Lakeland Florida

A little drive up to Lakeland today, made a stop at the Hollis Gardens at Lake Mirror. They were replanting a lot of the garden.

After that it was a stop at the Circle B Bar Reserve at Lake Hancock. We hiked about 2.5 miles here's a few pictures of some of the wildlife

AS ALWAYS CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Looks like the Spoonbill is sneaking up on the Gator

No Wildlife , just liked the reflection

 

Catching up.......

We're gone from the Winter Garden area and have moved on to the Sarasota area to spend Christmas week.

Our last day at Winter Garden we spent at the Harry P Leu Gardens so of course here are a few pictures.

Have never seen this one before

Looks like it was made from clay

Our first day in Sarasota just happen to be my 62^nd birthday so we bicycled over to De Soto National Park so I could get my SENIOR PASS.

One good thing about getting old

Anna Maria Island Pier

AND OF COURSE
