A glossy ibis glowing in the sun.
Another cute gnatcatcher.
“Hey, where are you going?”
Moorhen in the swamp.
Candy corn beak.
A tiny gator snoozing in the sun.
Soon the trail will be full of these bushes blowing in the wind. The ends sprout and blow off and it almost looks like it snowing when they are blowing around.
Christmas is coming fast. I did all of my shopping on-line so I could spend what little free time I have right now out at the parks. The weather is perfect in December. High of 65 and sunny. Why would I want to be at a mall when I could see all of the above? My sister is coming to Tampa this week and we’ll be out playing tourist all week.

Good for you…(nice shots by the way)…Dina and I swore off the whole gift giving thing years ago. It is such a relief.
I avoid shopping as much as I can this year. I shopped in Malawi for all my presents as I thought their economy would benefit with my money more than here in the UK
Just wanted to say I really enjoy your photos, thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I love seeing how others prepare for Christmas. Great photos.
Beautiful bird shots. I try to avoid shopping at this time of the year, as well !!!
You are a girl after my own heart Dina! Just like me except you see more birds and get better pictures!! (And you are much younger too of course!) Merry Christmas — enjoy the time with your sister.
Merry Christmas! Have a great time with your sister!
