Afternoon at the Park with My Son Part 4

While my son and I were visiting the park his best friend called.  What happened next??  You guessed it, he came to join us. :)  They took off and quickly left me behind. LOL

Hope December is everything you want it to be.  I haven't caught up yet, but it's okay it will all work out. :)

There they go, straight to the water to look for alligators. LOL

Doesn't it look like summer?

Afternoon at the Park with My Son Part 3

Hi friends!  I have been really busy with life. :)  I will be catching up with everyone's blog soon!  
We will be soon getting our Christmas decorations up.  We have neighbors that already have pretty lights on their houses.  I do love the lights and beautiful Christmas music.
I'm posting a few more pics from our visit to the park.  My son and I both enjoy the outdoors and animals, but I'm not into camping....go figure. :)

We got a great surprise when we looked up and her came three Sandhill Cranes!
I just caught them landing!

I wish I could have gotten better pics of these beautiful birds.  The camera I was using is 5 MP and 12 optical.
It was a cloudy day so, I was at the mercy of nature.  :)

So, hubby and I went looking for those social birds AKA Sandhill Cranes.  We drove back out to the same area that we had seen them before, Orlando's main post office, and had our Flip Video Cam in hand.  There they were across a small pond...so it was safe to get out of the vehichle. LOL!
Here's a short video of the Sandhill Crane family. 

                                                                              

My Encounter With The Sandhill Cranes

While hubby and I were out and about Saturday afternoon I spotted a family of Sandhill Cranes.  I asked hubby to drive over to them so I could take some pics.  I was about to get out of the car, but good thing I didn't because those beautiful birds had no fear!  They came right up to my window! 

P.S. CHATTY CRONE is having a 6 day giveaway!  Check it out!

It's illegal to feed Sandhill Cranes in Florida as of 2002.
