We spent a few days camping at Big Lagoon State Park in Florida with family.

Big Lagoon has some huge Southern Yellow Pine.

Addie found this marsh rabbit alongside the trail while biking. I gave her my camera so she could take some photos of it.

There must have been a dozen osprey nests along the lagoon. We saw them fight with an eagle one day but no photos.

Gulf

We had a lot of fun walking the beach and swimming. Our granddaughter loves going to the beach.

Pelicans

Along one of the piers fishermen were throwing parts of the fish to the pelicans after cleaning them. They let Addie throw a couple. Several pelicans at a time went for the fish.

We didn’t see any dolphins this trip but did see one five foot shark go by.
