I am linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences
I hope you can join in on the fun and share your fence scenes and pretty skies.
Happy Canada Day ( a little late, sorry) to my Canadian blogging friends. And I wish everyone in the USA a happy 4th of July.
For this week's Good Fence and Skywatch Friday memes I am sharing more of our Florida trip. On this afternoon we took a drive to the Disney Wildlife Preserve in Kissimmee. It is not your usual Disney Park, the 11,500 acre property was transferred to the Nature Conservancy to preserve and restore the wetlands and is part of the Everglades ecosystem. They have a program to help the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker on the preserve. I read that the woodpeckers are doing well in the pine habitat. The Wood Stork and families of Sandhill Cranes, Crested Caracara, Bald Eagles and other birds can be seen at the preserve.
One of the first birds I saw at this preserve were the Eastern Meadowlarks. They are beautiful birds, I love their bright yellow colored chest.
For Skywatch Friday I have a view of the trees, wetland and marsh and a pretty sky.
I like this old Walt Disney quote I found. It seems very fitting even for the present time.
"Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future" Walt Disney.
For my Good Fence entry a view from the overlook of the trail and wetlands on the Disney Wilderness Preserve. We saw some pretty clouds and blue sky during our visit.
The Mockingbirds were common birds seen all around the preserve and in Florida. This Mocking bird posed nicely on the post for me.
Another one for my skywatch, it was a hot day and we wished for some cloud cover for our walk on the trail.
Some fence scenes from around the Preserve's visitor center, the pond, swallowtail butterfly and heading out of preserve we saw some cows on the field. It is a conservation area with both working and protected lands. This preserve is also listed on the Great Florida Birding Trail. If you are ever in the area I suggest visiting and taking a walk on one of the trails.
I hope you enjoyed my post and photos. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments.
