There And Back Again

A strange effect from tracks reflected in the window
 I decided to take a train ride at the end of May and went home to Florida to visit my mother and brother - I stayed for 12 days and celebrated my 59th birthday there - I managed to see a few people I knew - relaxed and took lots of photos...

...here's a few of the things I saw - all aboard!

Giant palm tree through the window on the train
After arriving in Florida, the three of us had lunch beside the St. John's River
Sneaking up on one of the 9,000 alligators that live in Lake Jesup 
Looking out at Lake Jesup from Black Hammock Adventure Park

Another view of Lake Jesup that includes a huge bird's nest and a blue heron
The sun, like a giant blood orange, finished setting over Lake Jesup

Florida is a beautiful place, if you know where to look and you don't mind driving fifty miles there and back again...
