Melanie, what a wonderful tour, thanks so much for sharing with us!
I really enjoyed all of your wonderful photos and narrative, you make us feel like we are right there.
Now that we have two dogs we aren't traveling as much but I'd sure love to spend a few days over on the west coast of Florida again. I love Selby Gardens; we used to vacation on Longboat Key every summer but it's been awhile and I'd love to go back some time. After seeing your photos, Naples Botanical Gardens is on my list of places to visit too!
I agree, those are definitely juvenile Bald Eagles!!
