Lettuce Lake Park

Hello,

Is January flying by or what? I wish there was a way to slow down time, it is going by much too quickly. These are images are from Nov 14-16th. I never got around to showing my photos of November's Supermoon and a sunset. Also, our visit to Lettuce Lake Park just outside of Tampa Florida.



Sunset from our neighborhood.


Some clouds over the Supermoon.


November's supermoon reflection on our local lake.



The boardwalk at Lettuce Lake Park, it is a beautiful park. We saw pretty views of the water, trees and boardwalk.



White Ibis on the tree top.


Common Moorhen  with a group of turtles.


A twisted Great Egret across the lake.


A small alligator and a turtle.


Here is my list of thankful things:
Not having to set an alarm.
A Good night sleep.
Being outside in the fresh air and sunshine.
All my life's experiences, good and the bad.



I hope you enjoyed my post and photos. Thank you for your visit and comments on my post. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!

Thanks to Michelle for the meme Thankful Thursday

I am also linking up to Skywatch Friday, I hope to see you there.
Thank you to Sylvia, Yogi and Sandy for hosting Skywatch Friday.

  12. excellent moon shots, I like them a lot. love the tree topper birds and the tree in the fence. and I am thankful for all the things you listed and about the bad things in life, when I look back, they were the forerunners to good things in the future. I did not see that then

  56. Your moon shots are always fantastic -- winter does go by quickly when you live where you can go outside and play every day! I hope you are spending a couple more months in Paradise.

  57. Eileen-your photographs of the birds and moon are amazing. I am especially fascinated by Herons and Egrets, since we really don't get to see them much around here. It is a treat seeing these captures.

  58. Such lovely thoughts on your list!! *-* And such magical place this park to have a good walk and see beautiful things! a very large supermoon and so nice sunset! I remember that I waited so much to see it, but It was wrapped in some clouds! lol... I'll wait for another chance (in 18 years from now)!
    Gorgeous views through your magical lens, as always! Thank you so much!
