Just sharing my morning with you. #paradiselife Halifax River in Ormond Beach, Florida on 10-18-2022

This morning, my buddy Cracker the Greater Egret came to sit 2 feet behind me on the pier railing for some selfies. He's just the greatest bird friend. Loves to just hang out with me. He will fly over to me every morning when I get to the park. I feed peanuts to the seagulls and squirrels and I think it really intrigues him. He's not interested in the peanuts but just likes to be close to me, I guess. I don't mind.

Just having fun with my new Halloween decorations. My son loves them too lol

So I was coming home from the store the other night and almost ran over this guy! At first I thought it was a turtle, but I backed up and seen him in the headlights...a giant blue crab. So I got out and encouraged him to go towards the trees in the direction he was originally heading. There's a family of blue crabs that live in the sides of the storm ditch in the trees. I figured he was late going home.

Just another morning in Paradise. Halifax River Ormond Beach, Florida October 11th 2022 (video date)

Just a Seagull doing rooster things...

My Best Friends took me to the Butterfly Rainforest in the Florida Museum of Natural History this past weekend to celebrate my 48th Birthday. It was amazing.

A few seconds of Zen at sunrise

This is my morning buddy, Cracker the Great White Heron aka Greater Egret. He hands out with my best friends and myself each morning. He's got so much personality that it's crazy. Once you get to know one of these big birds on a personal level, where they come when you call their name even though you don't feed them, it's an amazing friendship. I like to think he hangs out with us because he actually likes us.

My new pet frog

Last Night's storm was giving an excellent light show and I was lucky enough to capture some epic strikes spreading out across the sky. I did an instant replay in slow motion after each strike. Ormond Beach, Florida on 8-19-22

I caught this gorgeous Red-Shouldered Hawk scratching the new paint on my trucks new hood that was just repaired 3 weeks ago... oh well #trucklife #trucksneedscratchestoo

I bought a set of little black penis valve stem covers on Etsy for like $3 and snuck them onto my best friend's car yesterday. She totally busted me lol. I got them black to blend in with her black car and black tires, hoping she would take a while to notice them. She's very observant lol. Less than 24 hours lol.

My big boy loves to eat

My giant African Pixie Frog eating some hornworms

On our recent family daycation to Gatorland, Florida, we got to take the Swamp Buggy Tour. It had its ups and downs lol. Enjoy

Look at her little pig nose! Too cute 😍

Just a moment of my Florida sunshiny morning

Bottle feeding one of the kittens

This is what happened...

This beautiful girl munches amidst the rocks every morning by the river where we hang out to watch the sunrise. She's grown accustomed to us being there and not bothering her, only videoing so she doesn't spook away anymore.

Answer: A dash full of dancing solar pets! Question: What can only be seen in Florida? LoL

Another #NatureInYourFace moment lol. Who knew birds liked to toss salads? Learn something new every damn day. And then she was like "Her back in there!" shoving him back...

Friday, July 1st 2022 We rented a pontoon and went to Silver Glen Springs State Park in Astor FL for a Daycation and two fighter jets played in the sky above us and off in the distance...
