Thursday Thirteen Flora and Fauna of Florida

Who knew going to visit my sister in Florida -- to her son's wedding and to Disney World I would see such beautiful Flora and such friendly Fauna
These flowers were at the hotel
1.the first was exquisite

2.The second could be my favorite they are just perfect


3.The Temple where the wedding was is so lovely, this hawk was way up high and stayed for a long time

4.These flowers are cute aren't they? I think it is FUNNY that flowers can be exquisite--just right --or cute-- but all are beautiful in their own way

5.There were lizards were every where I think this one was trying to scare us away

6.then on the drive we saw this row of palms that we just do not see here in north TX

7. When we got to my sisters I was thrilled for her and her new home --this is the woods they paved a walk way through

8.This is their neighbor( I am sure he has owners too)

9.I could not get over the lush growth(daily rain and warm temps makes for beautiful foliage)

10.I went for a walk early in the AM and saw these along the way

I looked up and saw this

I am so glad I looked down in time to see this


I Then circled the lake and back

by the pool where the night before

I found this cutie... I was in love .. ok not really but he is sooooo cute






11.This was our view from the hotel the last day

When I walked that morning I saw this beautiful bird (crane?)they are not afraid of people they seem as prevalent as our crows

and the hibiscus that we cultivate so carefully here, seem to be everywhere there

12.But nothing beats the friendliness of the birds at Disney they walk up to you




look at you sweetly

And ask you to share w/ them--- so my son did :)


Oh you might go by my sweet DIL's blog to wish him a Happy birthday today (She wrote a sweet tribute to him) he just completed his first year of Law --School he works so hard

13.But I was most fascinated w/ the way the bushes so naturally grew to combine both Flora and fauna:)
