Cirta, FL

It's supposed to warm up to 75* today,the low last night was 53*. We aren't doing too much while we are here. This is going to be down time for us. We've seen some wildlife that we don't normally see, and there are a couple eagles that fly around here but I always miss the opportunity to get a picture of them. We drove to Rainbow Springs State Park yesterday to check out the campground. But where we are staying now is very nice and if we are in this area again this will definitely be the place we come back to. We also had some oranges and grapefruits mailed off to my parents. They should be getting fresh fruit in a few days. We are close to Ocala and it has everything we need. However, the resort we are on has so much to do that we really don't have to leave unless we want to.

 This is from when we were still in Georgia, We went to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. This one was so cute. He was swinging in the water. The turtles come to this center to get rehabilitated and sometimes released back into the ocean.

 A beach on Jekyll Island in Georgia. We had the beach all to ourselves. I never wanted to leave.

 I was doing laundry the first day we got to our resort in Citra and I walk out and this is what I see. These huge birds walking around. Louie later told me that they are Sand Hill Cranes. They are almost prehistoric looking.

 A frog we seen down at the dock.

 Another frog we found down at the dock after it rained.

 This is Orange Lake, and this is the most we have seen of it since we have been here because of the floating islands.

 This is a view of the lake the next day. More of the floating islands have moved in and you can't even is the water at all now. Louie hopes to be able to fish this before we leave but if they don't move out he won't be able to.

 The first alligator sighting for me this trip. I am hoping to see a much bigger one before we leave. They say there is a 13 foot one out there.

 Here is a gator hiding. Can you find him?

Drove to Rainbow Springs State Park.
