We are in Florida preparing to cross the Atlantic enroute to Europe and then on to a self driving safari in South Africa.
I thought you’d like to see some amazing flora & fauna we saw in Florida!
Pretty amazing critters!
We will be subject to intermittent and dicey internet for the next two weeks while at sea,
so it will be impossible to follow your blogs.
I will check in when I can and try to fire off a pic or two of events enroute.
Uploading and editing are impossible,
so posts go “as is!”
Will touch base when I can.
Be well and,
cheers to you from the beautiful flora and fauna in Ft. Lauderdale and The Butterfly World!

Oooh! Self-driving safari! I want to hear about that! Sounds great.
It will be our second time self driving in Kruger, but this time we are driving much further north so we are quite excited. There will be no wi fi in the park, but once we leave the park there will be some~
Gorgeous photos Cindy. Enjoy your adventure! 🙂
Thanks my friend and happy you are virtually traveling along!
me too!
Looks to me like you may have been visiting South Florida, because I don’t recognize some of these birds. Great shots!!
The exotics were taken at Butterfly World, but the parrots and dragonfly just around Ft Lauderdale!
Happy travels!!
Mil grazi Brenda!

These photos are stunning. Those birds!
Birds just break my heart, so delicate and so lovely. Very pleased you liked them too~
Hello, Hello! I am so occupied to get my blog functioning that I am late to everything. Finally, I got it to descent place. Lot more of tweaking, which I will work on a little each day.
Bon Voyage! my friend. Looking forward to your exotic photos!
Wonderful Fae! I look forward to being on land and able you puruse your gifted efforts my friend. We are now in the middle of The Wide Sargasso Sea and there is a big thunder and lightening storm. Life is beautiful! Be well dear Fae~ <3 <3
Love them all. Enjoy Sth Africa. Sorry you aren’t doing Australia.
I am too! Once was not enough and it is back on the top of my bucket list!
Have a wonderful time! And the Florida wildlife and fauna are beautiful 🙂 That blue bird is awesome!
He was a tad out of focus but the bird won out over the pic big time! Hugz to you and the wolf child~
Wonderful captures, Cindy. I can see you and your camera are having a great adventure. 🙂
So much fun to share our adventures together! <3
What beautifully colored creatures. Have a safe trip and a wonderful adventure. Looking forward to photos when you return.
It will be a challenge, but I hope to post some as I go when the witchy wifi wishes!
That is so exciting!!! I’m looking forward to follow your trip. What countries in Europe are you going to visit?
Parts will be hard to follow like now in the middle of the Sargasso Sea where signals are hard to find, and in the Kruger bush where we will not be in any place luxe enough to have wifi. But I am comitted to trying to get some pics out as I go because it is so wonderful to be able to share with people like you! This time we will be in the Azores (Portugal) in about five more days, then Rotterdam for the tulips, Debrugge for Knoke, County Cork, Southampton, and then Johannesberg, followed by Kruger National Park for two weeks self driving from national park camp to camp as far north as Olifants, then back to the UK for a week of rest! So happy you are virtually coming along! It makes it all more fun~
Beautiful pics – have a great trip!
Mil grazi!
These are absolutely stunning photos! I hope you and yours have a safe and wonderfully fun adventure….looking forward to more photos of your discoveries!
So nice of you and so pleased too! Cheers & thank you~ <3
Bon voyage!

Wow, what a grand gallery, Cindy! Happy travel. 🙂
It is photographic cheating to have such beautiful and interactive critters to click~

Fantastic photos as always Cindy Looking forward to hopping in your virtual suitcase again. So you are cruising? Have you been on a cruise before? I look forward to your comments
Yes, have cruised before. Am 700 nautical miles for the coast of northern Africa now. Will be at the Azores in 2 days, first land in a week. Satelite wifi is horrible and will be worse in Africa, but I will endeavor to post when possible. Be well Pauline!
That sounds so exotic Cindy. I gave up on wifi on the boat so slow and unreliable and expensive. It is good to be back home and wired up again to our good connection. It will be a photographers heaven over there, looking forward to following you.
It makes everything more fun when you come along Pauline!
Cindy your photos are sharp as a samara sword and you choose wonderful subjects.
I have to comment just putting a like is too easy, thanks.
So thoughtful, but then, that is what you are Jack! Be well my friend~
Keep posting, pleasing, perfect photos.
It is wonderful to have you as friend.
Visa versa 2 U Jack, X 2!
Such fragile works of art. The variety and intricate designs of nature are always show stoppers. (And your subjects seemed so cooperative about posing elegantly)
Enjoy your adventures! We can’t wait to see what you find.
What elegantly expressed and lovely sentiments! Thank you~
Have a wonderful and safe travel! Looking forward to see your adventure images later on 🙂
So pleased you are traveling along with me!
You don’t stay still long! We are hardly settled after two week in Italy. So much to revisit & organize. I have one page left to complete for each of the photo-albums, but hardly a minute with the computer to do so. Enjoy your travels. I’ll be checking in now & then.
Oscar
So glad you had a good trip Oscar! I enjoyed traveling with you virtually~
Hi dear friend, due to a busy week, wasn’t able to check your blog for the last few days. With a lot of expectations I came to your space today and I must admit, you never fail to amaze. The world looks so much more beautiful when seen through your eyes! I can watch these images again and again forever. Thank you for sharing these. Have a lovely journey ahead and keep spreading the beauty 🙂
Your comments are like a ray of sunshine on this fiercely stormy day off the coast of Northern Africa! Thank you for your kindness & be well Prateek~
I am always honored by your replies, dear friend. And stormy weather is showing its wrath over here too. Take lots of care 🙂
You too my friend~
