In January of 2009, two days after retiring from my job of 37 years, I took a road trip around my home state of Florida
(mostly the West/Gulf Coast). I learned so much about Florida's history and all the interesting things Florida
has to offer. It's not all Disney World and the Space Shuttle - although, the Space Shuttle IS pretty spectacular!!

SANDHILL CRANES

These beautiful birds, Sandhill Cranes, are a common sight all over Florida. They don't seem to fear humans, and they are always a nice sight to see. These three are probably parents with a baby, as the chicks stay with their parents for a while.
