Yesterday I wandered around Palm Island Park and the Port of Mount Dora. I had the place to myself. Not a bad way to spend a Monday afternoon!

Remembering It All
“I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you.” – Jack Kerouac
Demetree Park
A hidden gem located in the heart of a neighborhood just off the 408 and east of downtown Orlando, Demetree Park is a great spot for a short stroll among wildlife (we encountered white ibises, a great egret, great blue heron, green heron and many ducks during our quick visit).
Wandering Trimble Park
Along with Palm Island Park, Trimble Park is one of my go-to spots in Mount Dora for a quick hike. It’s a nice mix of wooded trails and scenic boardwalks. Sometimes I’ll glimpse an alligator or two, but not this time.
What I’m Watching …
Over the Edge (1979) Teenage angst in a planned community in California during the late 1970s. A nice time capsule with a great soundtrack that features the Ramones, Van Halen, the Cars and Cheap Trick. Matt Dillon’s film debut. Don’t miss it!
Back to Lake Lotus
We spent a nice Sunday afternoon wandering around Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, followed by a visit to Lake Lily Park and then dinner at Athena Roasted Chicken (I ordered the vegetarian pita, which was amazing!).
Lake Lily Wildlife
Despite its tiny size, Lake Lily Park in Maitland features a nice variety of wildlife. Check it out!
