We drove North about 60 miles or so to meet my sweet cousin Cindy this week!
It was a beautiful drive and we had a very nice lunch! We talked and talked and then we walked and walked.
And our drive up there seemed more like a ‘nature drive’. It was raining lightly so excuse the water droplet on the windshield!
I came home and made a list of all that we had seen.
And here it is…
Llamas, Emus, white geese, Canada geese, Egrets (flocks of hundreds flying together and landing in a field), herons, wild turkeys (3 times we saw these), a black horse with a white tail, longhorn cattle, baby horses and burros, several hawks, kestrels, a huge flock of doves, chickens and goats as well as wildflowers and locust trees in bloom.
Can you believe I’ve probably forgotten a few sights along the way?
I’m joining Tex for the
Some days are just so very special.
This one was the best!

A good day, indeed.
Super shots of the fences, my friend. I like the perspective in the photos.
What a wonderful treat that you got to see so many different things on a short trip! I have never seen a black horse with a white tail.
Sounds like a great visit. Love the barn and fenced fields-- lucky horses!
just love your horse fencery. :) lots of flocks! holy cow! :)
Great fence captures- I'm glad you had a wonderful visit with your cousin!
Sounds like a wonderful visit!
It was a nature drive! Look at the flock of birds, oh my!
Hahaha, that's quite a list! We went for a Sunday drive several weeks ago and had similar sightings. I had to laugh though, and comment that I knew we were in east Tennessee. On the porch of one rural house, we saw the usual sight of old sofas on the front porch. But there were also several goats!
What a beautiful day! Making memories!
Hi sweet lady! Your pictures are lovely and wow, what a list!
Hugs to you!
Morning, So beautiful, great looking fence. Blessings Francine.
Sounds like a wonderful day (all those wildlife sightings!!!) and you got some really nice fences.
A wonderful field trip indeed....So much to see! You are so right..some days are truly the BEST.
Sounds like a wonderful day! The picture of the fences is great !

Sounds wonderful, Diane. xo Laura
You certainly had a wonderful day and saw a lot and these fences are great.
It looks and sounds like a wonderful drive. The black horse with the white tail sounds so unusual. I'm not sure if I've ever seen that.
Have a beautiful day! :-)
What a wonderful day! The fence shots are beautiful. You always make me miss Florida- xo Diana

What a great outing you had. I don't think I've ever seen that many Egrets at one time. Great looking fencing to. My post earlier this week had just 1 Egret in it but man you saw a bunch. - Hope you got pictures of all the other wildlife you saw to share.
I have wonderful memories of my cousins growing up! How wonderful to meet up with yours. It sounds like you took "the Zoo Route". LOL!
But what wonderful scenery.
Cherished day for certain.
What a sweet day my dear xx
What a lovely day you had Diane. Love the fences. There's nothing so beautiful as a drive through the country side and on top of that you got to see some beautiful animals. What a blessed day. Pretty cousin, she seam like a sweet lady.
Blessings,
Marlene
What a fun family time. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
What a lot you saw! And great fence pictures besides!
You saw a LOT, and had a good visit too. Love the fence and field!
How nice to be with your cousin. You sure saw a lot wonderful things..no wonder you said it was a nature sighting. Great pictures. xoxo, Susie
Sounds like a great afternoon, Diane! Love your list - and would love to watch the horses contained by that fence.
Very nice. Love the corral fencing and your driving adventures!
Quite an outing with all the sights but the best time with your cousin. A nice photo of the two of you.
Hi Diane. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, too.
I LOVE your dolls-----and all dolls. Susan
What a nice way to spend the day. Enjoy your weekend xo
LOL, I love that everyone LOVES the fences, but I really think the photo of us is the BEST! It was the highlight of the trip getting to visit for a little while! I hope next time we can have time for you to show me some of you're favorite places! Thank you for my little dollie, she has a special place, just like you do in my heart! Cindy
Sounds like a wonderful time! What a beautiful fence and beautiful property. Oh, to have that kind of property to be able to fence. How fun!
A great day, it seems. I love the photo of you and your cousin.
Sounds like such a fun time Diane. The two of you look so cute!
such a great picture of the two of you, and a wonderful day.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time with your cousin! I do not picture FL to look like that! I picture the beach!!!You saw a lot on your trip too. Have a nice weekend.

A black horse with a white tail? Never seen that. I love horses, and there are quite a few near where we live.
I love the scenes you show us of Florida Diane. It doesn't look the way most people picture Florida at all, and that's what makes them so special. I hope I get to see some of that when we're there this winter!

THAT sure was a "nature" drive! You two look very happy.
What fun, Diane! From the beautiful drive, to all the animals and birds, and of course, your sweet cousin! Lovely pic of the two of you!!
Happy weekend!
Hugs,
Poppy
