The Lowry Park Zoo

We spent today walking around the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florda, with our friends Debbie and Bernie Hamm. This is one of the nicer zoo's that we have been to, about three hours and you can cover the entire zoo. The picture is from the "Bird of Prey" show that they put on, the birds fly right out over your head and if you're not careful they'll smack you in the head with their wings as they go over.
This is the Red Tailed Hawk, which is the type you see alot on the freeways and roads as you're driving.
The weather has been going back and forth but mostly its be prety nice, another week here and then we start heading north to the Chattanooga area.

2005

It's the start of another new year and we find ourselves in Florida again. Christmas week was a little cold and wet but now with the new year it's been back in the high 70's and fairly sunny. We are still in North Ft Myers and will be here until the 7th, then we head up to Ellenton for a few weeks to visit family and friends. Also to attend the big Florida RV Show in Tampa. The picture is of the Federal Bldg in downtown Fort Myers, a very interesting light display.
