A group of friends and I went for a paddle on Sunday down the Myakka River to the lower lake and back. What a treat! In all the time I've lived here, I had never been down to the lower lake!Saw lots of alligators, two pairs of bald eagles, several ospreys (one with a large fish he had just caught), turtles, egrets and herons, and we heard but did not see some wild boars.
Here are a few pictures:

Cold Weather...
So it's supposed to be pretty cool here on Friday night. Some say it will get down into the 30s! Then the high for Saturday will be in the mid 60s. Burrrrrrrrrr!
Just want to keep things in perspective... they will have sub zero temps Friday night in the little town in Michigan where my mom still lives and the high - THE HIGH - will be 1 degree on Saturday!! I'm going to the farmer's market downtown and then the beach!
