Among the many things I have to be grateful for, is the enduring friendship I have with a guy named Jim. Despite the many inevitable changes that have occurred in both our lives since we first met some 40 years ago, we remain very close to this day.Jim and his family have been camping up the road at Anastasia State Park since Wednesday, and yesterday, after spending some time at our home, our families went together to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park and played tourist for a few hours. Later we went downtown for dinner at Madre's followed by ice cream at Kilwin's and then a movie back home before they left to return to their campsite.
This was my first visit to the Alligator Farm. In addition to the captive wildlife exhibits, I was delighted to find they have a boardwalk through a mostly natural swamp area were a variety of wading birds can be sighted. Being only 2 miles from where we now live, we purchased the family pass so I'll be returning here often...especially during the spring when the birds are nesting.
While certainly not a wild bird, today's photo of a Macaw just begged to get posted. Hope you enjoy it.
