The Park Today

    Cooler days now here,
we were out and about today, 
 looking  for a bit of 
Florida's scenic beauty....
in a beautiful  natural park.
We set out walking on our own, and
as you can see in my photos
we were joined by others along the way.

We saw lots of these yellow flowers,
along the water's edge,
 surrounded by tall slender
cat tails reeds.

This little grey squirrel  walked right up to
the Mister, perhaps expecting to be fed.....

The sign warned us of alligators......
no sign, however, warned of the ant bed I stood
in to take this photo. Very quickly,
 I learned of their location.
-
We had been mostly alone for our walk
in the park......until this little deer family came
along.  They acknowledged us and we
quietly enjoyed their presence.
This was the highlight of our day.....


They were absolutely beautiful ....standing
in tall green grasses with a bit of sun
splashing through the tree branches onto them....
Having no fear of us, they continued to
eat.....now and then they looked our way.

I'm thinking the Mister and I just
had a  glimpse of heaven today.....
the park was so "Eden" like.
Sigh.......Dee Dee
