One of the things I love the most about Florida are all of the different “birds”, waterfowl, etc, that we see on a daily basis! Love the Heron.
Playing “hooky” (well not really since I’m “on hiatus” from work and daughter is homeschooled) to go to Animal Kingdom tomorrow for Earth Day!
My Ruby Tuesday is here.

I love herons but I also love Captiva — Iwas not overly fond of Florida until I found Captiva and Sanibel! Thanks for sharing!
