Triple Trimble Tuesday!

Well, it is Tuesday. And I do want to send along one more photo that features the beauty of Orange County’s Trimble Park. Okay, maybe two. Good shot of the meeting of Lake and Sky first. And then another sunset pic. I like the… Continue Reading “Triple Trimble Tuesday!”

Another Shot or Two from Trimble Park.

There must be thirty or forty docks at the park. No, that’s not an exaggeration! A view of a dock or two. This huge lake is Lake Griffin. Call Orange County Parks and Rec if you’d like to book or need info such as… Continue Reading “Another Shot or Two from Trimble Park.”

Trimble Park, Orange County’s Best-Kept Secret

If you like to do outdoor stuff, let me recommend you overnight at Trimble Park in Tangerine. (That’s the tiny town after Zellwood but before Mt. Dora!)

Fave Fotos: Loved the Yard, Loved the Deck

Loved that yard. Spent a couple of thousand hours mowing, trimming, clipping and pruning over many, many years. We had a deck put in about six years ago. Don’t have the house anymore but here’s a photo of the deck and two Adirondack chairs… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Loved the Yard, Loved the Deck”

Fave Fotos: When Seagulls Attack!

I love this photo. Took it at Cocoa Beach a few months ago. Once in a while an amateur shutterbug like me gets lucky. Maybe in life it really is all about the timing. Hope you like it. By the way, the main reason… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: When Seagulls Attack!”

How Much Fun are Zip Lines, Anyway?

Bulldog loves to zip. Only done it three times but I’m going again when I get the chance. I’ve done the one at The Central Florida Zoo. It’s good, but too many rope ladders and assorted obstacles between zips. Most of the zippers are… Continue Reading “How Much Fun are Zip Lines, Anyway?”
