After doing such a great job at the obstacle course you get a big hug!

Bark in the Park: Dalmatian Obstacle

This one looked like a little kid sliding through the tube.

Bark in the Park: Pug Obstacle

I don’t think of pugs as being very agile but this one did an amazing job! Bark in the Park: Obstacle Course from JETeye on Vimeo.

This puppy was adorable! Very excited to see every dog there and even the people.

A little stretching during the activities.

This was one happy dog!

Bark in the Park: I Wuv You

Just look at how much this puppy loves his daddy.

Bark in the Park: Besties

Just like with kids, it always takes a few photos before you get one where they are all looking at the camera (if you are lucky)!

Bark in the Park: Roxie

It’s wonderful that they make these wheel chairs for dogs. She was able to walk really well and she was very happy.

Bark in the Park: Nose to Nose

The dog on the left is the one from yesterday’s post. I think she may be trying to pickup a friend to take home.

Bark in the Park: Dogs in Cars

This beauty seems to have driven herself to the Bark in the Park Festival!

The one bike ride I decided to leave my “good” camera at home and I arrive at Nelson Park to discover that Bark in the Park Festival is…

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Spider

I think this spider also enjoyed the botanical gardens.

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Zen

In the Dessert area some peacefulness could be found.

Osprey and Nest

I’m assuming there are some babies in that nest as this Osprey was being very protective of it.

Pelican Fishing

While at the Marie Selby Botanical Garden you have a perfect view to watch the Pelicans fish.

We started off in the Rainforest (Tropical Conservatory) and made our way to the Dessert (Succulent Garden).

Just a few of the pretty flowers at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Bees and Butterflies

The bees are a little easier to get a closer shot as they tend to hang out in one spot longer. Although, harder to get a good picture…

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Lavender Field

We just happened to be visiting the botanical gardens during the time they were having an exhibition of Marc Chagall’s nature-inspired artwork. I had never heard of this…

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Bonsai

It was probably The Karate Kid that introduced me to the Bonsai Tree and I’ve liked them ever since.

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Koi Pond

I would love a little water fall/garden in my yard with fish. Very zen.

A little zen to start your Monday morning. Take a few deep breaths…may your day be free of stress and full of peace.

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Tropical Conservatory

The Tropical Conservatory was very interesting. When you first entered it was humid and felt tropical but as you made your way through to the back it became…

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens

On my third day we visited the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. My cousins hadn’t been there so it was also a new experience for them. 

Birds of Florida

Lots of birds in Florida. I always enjoy seeing the Pelicans and Blue Herons.

Ponce de Leon Park

On my second day in Florda, we visited Ponce de Leon Park in Punta Gorda. I’m always impressed at how well Florida does its parks. Free parking, typically…

There are very few places to stay in Hana. We picked Hana Kai Maui and spared no expense on our waterfront room! We really couldn’t have asked for…

Wai’anapanapa State Park

Right before entering the town of Hana you come to Wai’anapanapa State Park. This was my first time seeing a black sand beach and it was amazing. We…

Road to Hana: The View

The views from the Road to Hana were breathtaking.

Maui Mongoose

She might look a bit frightening in the first photo but I actually snapped it while she was yawning. In the second photo you can see she was…

Ke’anae Peninsula Pt. 2

At the end of the Ke’anae Peninsula was the Lanakila Ihiihi O Iehowa Ona Kava Church. I’d have a hard time listening in church knowing that scenery was…

Ke’anae Peninsula Pt. 1

Just before mile 17, the half way to Hana marker, we stopped at Aunt Sandy’s Banana Bread for a snack. The banana bread was delicious! We then walked…

Just a few of the plants growing in the arboretum. Lots of pretty tropical red.
