Florida - part 1
After a fabulous Thanksgiving with lots of family at Slick Rock, Los Flemings pointed south. First stop was a night with Uncle Jake in Greenville after the feast. Then it was on to Little Talbot Island State Park just north of Jacksonville, FL. The weather was crisp but clear for beachcombing in the morning. Sam collected lots of shells.
We also had two interesting nature encounters. First we found this ray on its back at the edge of the surf. We flipped it and got it pointed back out to see.
The second was with a young pelican that had gotten tangled in a surf fisherman's line. We covered the bird's head with a towel to calm it and were able to unravel the string from around his wing.
Our next stop was Winter Haven for a visit with Mame's grandmother, Dotti Ross, a.k.a. Nana Banana and....
an early a.m. trip to our favorite doughnut store in all of Florida.
