Our second visitor arrived on Monday and left on Thursday. Friday was our daughter M's 51st birthday dinner, and Saturday night Tom2, our third visitor of the week, arrived. What a kind and gentle person he is.
Having all these visitors has been fun in so many ways, and still is. However, I'm on my last leg. Today we took Tom2 to the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive to see alligators, birds, and waterfowl from the convenience of our car window. It's always a big hit with visitors, and my Tom and I love the drive. Afterwards we drove into Mt. Dora to go to our favorite Cuban restaurant, The Copocabana, where I had my usual picadillo with a large mojito. What a beautiful day!
I had to take a nap as soon as I got in the house. Did I tell you I was exhausted?
Here are some pictures from the drive. Never fear, I was using a zoom lens and I was inside the car.

Love these wildlife photos, especially the alligator head. Nothing quite like a good nap after a full day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and your Tom are great hosts! Glad you have enjoyed your guests. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these views there. Such beautiful wildlife you get to see. Guests are fun and delightful, and then it's back to the quiet life again.
ReplyDeleteThat wildlife drive looks good. Not much scope for a wildlife drive here in NI. You might see a few squirrels if you're lucky!
ReplyDeleteGreat close-ups. I know how tired you must be but the wildlife there is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a treat to rediscover your own beautiful areas through the eyes of visitors we can show around. But even only from a car window, these big busters would make me sooo nervous.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that anonymous was me! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's Florida as I know it!
