Taking a Break

The past few days we had company. Old friends from Oakville came for a visit and to take pictures of our birds. They have been close friends for 11 years and we share many mutual interests. Each year we make a Florida visit alternating between Cape Coral and Anna Miria Island.

We golf, bicycle, walk, talk and take pictures. We have our family of eagles and my friend has a fancy camera and captures the most dynamic pictures of my birds. I planned to take them to one of Florida"s most visited national refluge parks on Sanabel Island. We biked for four hours through this wilderness and saw numerous water birds as well as a few Cardinals and northern spicies.Ding Darling Park is world renourned but our golf courses hold more birds.

We tried to show the nice wild side of our area but we saw more birds on our golf course than in the national park.Visits are wonderful but the consumption of food and drink make a two week diet a necessity when they leave. The weather now is Florida weather with the temp over 80 and morning temps in the high sixties. Coffee and tea on the lanai for sure. We are happy to have guests and relieved that they came, had a good time and left. We are resting up for the next batch of friends.
