Fish breath

Hungry for a gullet full of bait fish, here is one of the "rescued" Pelicans at the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Redington Shores, Florida.

For the Birds

Liam getting friendly with the locals in Florida. The kids love the bird sanctuary down the beach. Some of the other locals found Liam less than friendly after he urgently sought their assistance to free an "injured fish" from Marcus's fishing pole, out on a fishing pier.

Lowry Park Zoo

Part of my posse at the end of a lovely day at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo. A baby rhino captured our hearts...well, not Vivi's, as her instincts told her to stay far from these prehistoric beasts.

Boca Ciega

Liam meandering the boardwalk in the lush Boca Ciega Millenium Park; a hidden gem in Pinellas County, Florida. Filled with gators, turtles, gopher tortoises, rabbits, blue heron, snowy egret, black racer snake, kingsnake, lizards....all of which we saw (except for the gators) in a two hour span.

Arboristas

Springtime tree climbing on Hannaford Cove Road.

Barefoot season?

Here Vivi pushes the seasonal envelope at our beach. She's a tough one.

Tea Party

Like Sarah Palin, Vivi's favorite new toy is her tea set. She loves to have her Daddy sit down and pour him tea (water) and generally overfills each chalice and then gets a towel because she is a "good cleaner upper".

Liam up top

Liam likes to amble up this huge shrubbery in Two Lights State Park. He calls it "bushing".
