Endings are only good when it’s the last day of school, time for dessert, or you’ve been sprung from a colonoscopy and can go home and eat. Leaving my new condo in Florida to return to my dull and viewless Minnesota street is an unhappy ending. But at least there’s summer travel!
Today is my final hurrah—the last of my Florida photos from around town and my backyard, which always has something to see, like mallards, muscovy ducks, ospreys, bald eagles, cormorants, anhingas, and herons of all sorts. Plus, sunset! Follow my feet…
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.
My backyard!
A loop around Sugden Park is unbearable.
Serenity Park.
Naples beach.
The pier is still a broken shell from hurricane Ian.
The end! Until next fall. 🙂
Love the photos – all of them – but the one of the seabird preening is a special treasure.

Great series on Corkscrew, it is a nice preserve. Beautiful birds, the Pileated Woodie is a favorite. Love the Iguana and the deer. Pretty sky and moon captures. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
I love your bright and beautiful photos. Enjoy your northern spring with all the flowers and take photos please. I have to experience them vicariously.
Great pictures. It might be sad to leave, but it’s always nice to get home. Home is comfortable.
Great set of pictures – I do like that woodpecker.
Can have beginnings without ends I suppose.

I had no idea Florida had bears. So do they hibernate like they do in the north? It would be hard for me to leave Florida too but you can have a lot of fun up north in the summer too.
Lovely photos! The preening bird is a standout. Enjoy your travels!
Great goodbye photos. I keep forgetting that areas besides the rocky mountains have black bears. We have them in Oklahoma even.
So sorry you had to leave out sunshine state. Hope you will return soon.
Great pictures, especially of the wildlife and the first picture of the sunrise or sunset. The good news: you will be back, and you have these photo memories. Alana ramblinwitham
I’m going to miss your Florida pics, but something tells me you will continue to find great things to photograph!
Beautiful.
