Saving turtles in Juno Beach, Florida

We watched a turtle release today (Melba) and the people were lining the beach. There were volunteers and cameramen and the proper fanfare. Learn more by visiting: www.marinelife.org

I love the feeling of the spanish moss growing on these southern trees. As the temperature rises, I know I'm not in NY!

Ruth is visiting us here in Florida. She traveled by plane, with a friend, and loves the warm sunshine. Doesn't she look great for 90?

Don't forget to advance the time by one hour.
"Spring ahead, fall behind" should help you remember! We lost the hour but will find it again in autumn.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Florida.

It was a hot day, already 75 by 9am. It eventually reached 85. This park is the true "old" undeveloped Florida. There are hiking trails, camp sites, and boating (up the Loxahatchee River) and more.

Another paddleboarder. Very popular here in Florida, it must be great exercise; just look at her muscles!
