Just an osprey hanging out with a black vulture while a turkey vulture flies overhead.
Forest Preserve
Nestled behind the W.T. Bland Public Library in Mount Dora, the new Forest Preserve is a beautiful 14-acre tract of long leaf pine forest in the heart of a residential area. It features a 400-foot boardwalk and 1-mile hiking trail (with actual elevation changes!). We saw a barred owl and marsh rabbit during our first hike. Well done, City of Mount Dora! Highly recommended!
The Gators of Palm Island
On a typical sunny afternoon, you are almost guaranteed to see an alligator or two at Palm Island Park in Mount Dora. Check it out!
Foggy Morning
I took a foggy morning stroll at Palm Island Park in Mount Dora yesterday and saw quite a bit of wildlife. A great way to start the day!
Wandering Mount Dora
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!
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.
Exploring Palm Island
I never get tired of exploring Palm Island Park in Mount Dora. There’s always something new to see here!
