Artist Renee Lammers

    Today I drove to Christmas to visit my friend Kathleen.  She and I went to Black

Hammock Drive in Titusville to walk around.  I asked her to take my photo as she is

an excellent photographer.  My Dad has loaned me his car.  I have been trying hard

to keep all oil paint off the vehicle and keep all four tires on!  Sometimes I have

found myself almost four wheel driving through the back woods of Florida.  

Especially yesterday in Gloveland, the Tostahatchee State Preserve, and a back road

by a canal in Titusville.  My friend Kathleen today, kept crying out, "Careful Renee!  

Careful!"  There were many pot holes on the white sandy roads.  Some were very

deep pot holes!  So far so good!  Although I had an incident with the garage door.  

I thought I had the car inside the garage far enough.  Apparently I didn't have the

car in far enough and the garage door wacked the back of the car taking off the

license plate guard from the Toyota dealership.  Oops.  I felt really badly about that.

 I am going to go to the dealer to see if they can give me a new one.  

   Here are two gators enjoying the Florida sun.  I yelled out, "Kathleen! Kathleen!

 Gators!"  She didn't seem to impressed.  Floridians aren't too phased at alligators.  

She told me a story how she came out of her home and saw a gator.  Her dog hadn't

even see the gator he was so quiet.  The gator ran off after hissing at her.  I asked

how large he was, she said, about five feet!

     Next time I need to remember to visit Black Point Drive near sunset!  

Love Florida cedar trees!

This is a two month old donkey next to a friends house.  

    This morning I saw this cattle pasture with a beautiful oak tree.  Loved the blue haze.

Here is a pink spoonbill.

Here is a mosquito lagoon fisherman.  

    These are coots.  The huddle together on the water so they look like an alligator.  

Have a great night!  I hope you enjoyed the Florida photo safari!
