More About Florida

From the Gulf Coast Area
Below I have a few pictures and comments of some of the things that got my interest.

While driving from the Orlando area to Crystal River, we saw several signs warning about bears. We did see a bear later on our trip, but it was in Apopka.
While at Crystal River we enjoyed a visit to the Homosassa Springs State Park. We saw many Manatees. This park is a refuge area for the injured manatees.
In the park they also have a hippo. It is at the park because this area used to be the home for private zoo.
We were warned to stay away from the rear of the hippo. We are glad we did not get splattered.
Gator Construction Company was doing some maintenance work inside the park. We thought their sign was cute… “If it’s not a Gator… it’s a Croc!”
Here’s some real gators that were in the park. We got some close up views of these critters.

Joke of the Day

The Farmer's Almanac is predicting a very cold winter.

It must be true because the squirrels are gathering NUTS.

Three of my friends have disappeared. Are you O.K.?
