| The holidays are past and the long stretch of winter has begun. I enjoyed an extended visit to my mother's in Florida from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day with a driving trip to Venice FL on the Gulf at mid-week. It is a pleasant experience to journey across the state ~ only 160 miles ~ from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf. The interior of the state in that region is flat scrubby land dotted with cattle and horse farms, orange groves, canals with walking paths, hunting lodges for boar and birds, and nature preserves. Arcadia is a small town with an abundance of antique shops and a lovely tea room where I lunched on the way and back.
The photo of a sandhill crane is from a field along Clay Gully Road in Pine Level FL. They flew over as I was driving home from Myakka River State Park and landed alongside the road where they grazed and posed for me.
