We had a treat in store for us when we stopped at this State Park. We had no idea it was laid out just like a zoo. We saw all kinds of animals…most native to Florida but today I’ll share a few bird photos.
These are all right out of the camera.
A few I took to IPICCY to put frames on.
And I have to admit, hubby took most of the photos.
I get so excited looking at everything that I’m like a little kid in a candy shop.
What do you think the dark blue background is?
This park is less than an hour from our house so we’ll visit again soon.
I’m pretty sure I took this one…
maybe I could make a bookmark!
I can’t WAIT to go back! Want to come?
I’m joining Beautiful Sunday,
and Mosaic Monday.

Beautiful colors!!
I think I've been there, though it was over 20 years ago! Aren't there manatees there too? Love the flamingos! Such funny looking creatures.
Beautiful pictures.!
Great shots! Love birds! Hubby takes all of the pictures in our house.
Hello My Friend. What really awesome photos of bird life. When I see Flamingos I can hardly believe there is really such a beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing these lovely photos. Hugs Judy
The photos are beautiful. I love the color of the flamingos. Glad you enjoyed your trip with your husband. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Just breathtaking! I'm loving the bookmark idea...hmmmm XOXO
What great pictures-I just loved looking at all the cool birds, they are amazing aren't they? Actually I could look at critters all day long. ;-)
Happy Sunday
Stunning! God's palette is breathtaking! A big thank you to your hubby for the great shots!
happy sunday,
I want to come!!!!!It is so beautiful and I loved seeing the beautiful pictures you took. The last one you could make it out of a bookmarker. That would be really neat.
Have a blessed and wonderful Sunday,
Hugs my friend,

Dark blue - a reflection of trees...
Birds are beautiful!
I need to add this park to my "to visit" list. Gorgeous pix.
The colours are fantastic! If I lived nearby I'd be there weekly, just to see what's new.
The color of those flamingos is just breathtaking. Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing with us!
Judy
Lovely images pretty lady. It's funny that Arizona is now considered a destination for bird watching. We have many parks that have lakes and are becoming a permanent home for the migratory birds that fly south. We've got the egrets, herons, stilts, even pelicans and seagulls now. Our bio-diversity is amazing here, and during the cooler morning hours I can usually spot shorebirds running around in my front yard......so weird for a desert!
Have a lovely week.
Hugs,
Meri
Just beautiful Diane!
I'd love to have that bookmark (except my reading is almost all done on my Kindle or IPAD now)....anyway, all beautiful pictures and we hope to stop at Homossassa when we leave Florida later this spring.
Beautiful beautiful .. and so close to your home! Bring on the birds! :D :D
I didn't know flamingos came in such a vibrant colour. I may not know the names of the other birds, but they are beautiful, Diane.

Hi Diane! What a wonderful place to visit :o) I love all the pics, especially the flamingo's, we don't have too many of those around us...LOL! Have a nice Sunday! hugs Jennifer
No flamingos in Central Wisconsin, except the plastic kind. :-)

Your husband is great with composition and those flamingos are beautiful!
Hi Diane
I purchased a nice colour foldout of the birds of Florida so I can identify them when we're down. There are so many pretty and colourful varieties, thanks for sharing these ones. I could watch flamingos for hours.

My grandparents used to live in Homosassa, and I've been to that park many times. It was SO good to see pictures of it, I haven't been there in years!

Diane I would love to visit that park with you. Of course you had me at Flamingos!! Hope you have a lovely week!

I remember seeing Flamingos at the Stanley Park Zoo in Vancouver...when I was a child.
If I had a zoo like that only a hour away, I'd be there alot.
Great shots.
