HOME IN BIRMINGHAM

We have arrived in Alabaster, Al. at our daughter's house.  Venus has a Daddy do list for Allan.  We will be here for about two weeks with a trip to Red Bay in the middle of this stay.

We had been watching about 5 nests of Osprey while at the camp.  On our departing day we sadly saw where one Osprey had been hit by a car.  They mate for life and probably had babies in the nest.   Wonder how the single parent will handle this.

We took a few extra days to get back home.  Allan and I spent two days in Homosassa Springs, Florida.  I am including pictures of animals at the State Park, most of whom had been injured.  All the animals there are native to Florida except for a hippo which was left there by the previous owners.

While in Homosassa Springs we were awakened too early in the morning by a stork walking on our roof.  This was way too noisy.  No pictures of this bird.

I also am including a short video that Allan took of the Lipizzan training we saw during one of our first outings after arriving in Florida. Here are a few pictures of our trip to Sarasota, Fl.
