Here Comes the Rain....

And this is the bad site of camping: the rain! In minutes is everything a big mess around your RV and no chance to get out until it stops - maybe in an hour, maybe in two or three. Yesterday it was raining in the afternoon, the whole night long and it's still raining this morning. Where is the sun gone...?

In a weather like this, people stay in their metal boxes and play with the computers - like me - or they play cards or call up family members, or...or...or...whatever...
Any other, more creative ideas what to do on a day like this?...LOL...

Normally we do eat breakfast on this table, feeding the squirrels who are coming very close to your plates. Today they are also hiding somewhere up in the trees.
Let the sunshine have back again please...! :)

On a Lazy Wednesday Afternoon...

Yesterday afternoon we had very pretty and also impressive clouds in the sky. We went down to the open water at the Indian River again to enjoy nature and the still warm evening sunshine and to watch things going on, in the sky and in the water too.

There was a big swarm of flying black birds loud screaming in the clouds...

A small airplane getting ready for landing by the close local airport...

The golden shine of the water in the last sunshine beams...

And then we discovered to our surprise a BIG stingray floating by in the clear waters. If you click on the picture you maybe be able to see his eyes, looking straight to me. I never have seen a stingray in my life for real and this was my big excitement for the day :)

And it looks like fall in Florida! The leafs are still falling from the trees and covering the paths. I love the sound walking trough the leafs.

I want to say also THANK YOU to all my friends who made all these kind comments on my blog in the last few days. I do appreciate your words very much, your tips, your recommendations and your compliments too. I have decided, I don't write an answer to every single comment anymore, if you don't mind.... My Wi-Fi connections here on this campground are o.k., but just o.k. and not good. I get more disconnected then connected and most of the time when I'm in the middle of my writings or uploading photos....phew... I hope you understand. :)

Coming Saturday we will be "on the road" again, leaving here more South but not knowing just now, where we will be the next week.
Stay tuned with me, I'll try to post again as soon as I can.

Child Bullfighter in Mexico

A child matador has killed six young bulls in a fight that child and animal protection campaigners tried to stop.

Michelito Lagravere, 11, was allowed to take part in the event after a court in south east Mexico rejected a bid to halt it."I'm happy to have achieved this great victory," he said before leaving the bloodied bull ring in Merida.

A judge gave the go-ahead for him to fight the six calves, aged one or two years, after reviewing licenses and permits submitted by his father, former French bullfighter Michel Lagravere."We produced all the authorisations and guarantees we were following the rules, including the essential agreement from the National Association of Matadors," said Mr Lagravere."Michelito has fought bulls since he was six years old and he's never had a serious accident."Around 3,500 people, including many young children, gathered at the ring to witness Michelito in action.

A video of the fight will be sent to Guinness World Records for consideration - for the number of bulls killed and the age of the bullfighter. News Source.

Florida Clouds

What a beautiful day today!

I never do just one pictures or two, the subjects are to tempting and beautiful not to waste "film material". Today's themes are so typically for Florida : the dramatic cloud formations on a sunny day like this. And of course my palm tree photos too. My good old friends know by now my big passion to photograph palm trees, I did it already in Key West.... I hope you'll enjoy! :)

Life is good...

I thought I do show you some of my photos in a collage now. This one shows you a kaleidoscope of the RV Park's environment.

This is a collection and my impressions of "life is good" on a campground itself :)

On the shore of the Indian River Lagoon, this 26.45 acre campground is a well shaded and quiet hammock of pines, palms and foliage providing habitat to squirrels, birds, and tropical creatures. The river offers shoreline fishing and a perfect view of space shuttle launches at Kennedy Space Center. Campers also enjoy access to a recreation hall with a small swimming pool and reception grill area, a fire ring, a mid-sized pavilion, two shuffleboard courts, and a horse shoe pit.

Offering a secluded oasis with easy access to urban amenities, Manatee Hammock is a perfect launch pad to area attractions such as The Enchanted Forest, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Canaveral National Seashore, and Kennedy Space Center.
