A few words, a lot of pictures

Yesterday I started back on my morning walks which fell by the wayside over the summer because it was too darned hot outside for normal people, even Florida people.

It was in the 50's yesterday and also this morning so it was a perfect time to get back out there and get moving.  Plus my daughter, middle daughter who lives in Orlando somehow snookered me into signing up for a 5k walk/run (I will be walking I am sure) with her that is coming up in December.  Now I realize that 5k is only 3.1 miles or something like that, but when one hasn't been overly active during an extremely hot summer, one becomes a bit out of shape. 

So I am doing something about that now that the weather is cooler in the mornings. Today I brought my camera and got some pictures where I walk.  I can't do that everyday as I found out I am such a picture hound that I stop too many times to take pictures and that does nothing for momentum. 

It was beautiful out there today with the mist over the water (more smoke on the water) and there were a few birds around which is a bonus for the crazy bird lady.    It's really the perfect place to walk with a paved drive around it and also a dirt road if one gets tired of walking on pavement.

So shutting my fingers now so I can post a few morning pictures.

One of my favorite birds, the blue heron

 

The sun was just coming up over the trees when I arrived. 

I startled the Ibises and a couple of them flew away

 but some of them stayed

More views of the lake, the smoke on the water !

Looking across the park from the other side

I think this sign was telling me I was walking way too slow lol !  Might be because I was taking too many pictures. 😳😬

This park comes with it's own park kitty cat.

So I still have a ton of pictures so I will post those on a second (third, fourth, fifth?)  blog post.
