Love the butterfly but my old eyes didn't see the blue tips on the antennae- maybe if I get my glasses.

Loved biking Shark Valley, the boardwalks, and driving the 27-mile scenic Loop Road -- great birding everywhere. Looking forward to reading about your adventures.

A few overnighters but that was about it. A perfect stay! I had wanted to visit Shark Valley which we loved.

Sure hope to visit there one of these days. So many wonderful places like that in Florida. I think what I missed most about our January trip to Flagler Beach was the amazing Friday farmer's market! No strawberries, ruby red grapefruits or ten varieties of oranges for me this year.

Florida avocados are huge. My rental house down there has an avocado tree that was planted along about 1951. It takes a huge piece of equipment with a cherry picker on it to get the avocados off it. The squirrels have a bad habit of taking a nibble out of one that is not quite ripe and then dropping it on the ground. They don't seem to ripen properly after that happens. I wish they would just eat the whole fruit instead of wasting it, but so far my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Do squirrels even HAVE ears? ;-> <br /><br /> Virtual hugs,<br /><br /> Judie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-24922942145844110732014-02-08T00:18:51.255-05:002014-02-08T00:18:51.255-05:00Goodness the size of that avocado!!!
