Photos from Our Neighbors

When we put together this site, we added a page for Camp Florida Beauty and hoped that we would get lots of photos of the natural beauty that surrounds us. Well, we have started to get some photos, and they are amazing! The only problem is, our website pages don’t notify our followers when there are new photos. So, we have created this blog, and we encourage everyone to follow it so they can be notified when we post new photos taken by our friends and neighbors.

Another exciting evening by Grassy Lake. The cats (or the owlets) are out of the bag (or the nest), so it’s time to post some photos of those two cute little babies! And, Mom and Dad Eagle flew in together to bring food and feed the eaglets. Then Dad went to take a dip in the lake as a Great Egret flew in. Always something to see by the lake.

These beautiful photos were taken by Tom Scott this morning. Looks like the Purple Martins are beginning to settle in. Gorgeous sunrise!

Just look at this sweet little Raccoon!

Our neighbors are busy taking photos! Today we have a photo of the Full Moon approaching Mars taken by Ralph Johnson on the evening of December 7th. Plus, more early morning photos from Tom Scott yesterday – Christmas Moon and holiday decorations.

Christmas is fast approaching, and last night it was time for the annual Grassy Lake boat parade. Some of our neighbors decorated their boats and joined in the fun. We got a couple of photos of one of those boats owned by Ralph and Alana Johnson.

More beautiful photos from Tom Scott–these ones taken during an early morning walk. Thank you for sharing, Tom!

These great photos are courtesy of Ralph Johnson who took them on the evening of October 15th.

These beautiful photos below were taken by Tom Scott, who graciously gave his permission for us to share them here!

Firespike, or Firebush, is a wildflower native to Florida, and a favorite of Hummingbirds. Take care, though…as beautiful as they are, they are poisonous to dogs–so make sure your furry friends don’t eat any part of these beautiful shrubs. This photo was taken at the request of one of our neighbors!

We have also received a new photo today that is of a different kind of Camp Florida beauty! It’s a photo of the group that showed up to play Pickleball this morning (January 27, 2022)! Dave Shoemaker says this is a great game growing in popularity with retirees!
