Patrice Lyle | My Top 5 Most Beautiful Florida Bird Pictures

twitterfacebook
Living in Florida is fabulous for many reasons, but one major reason I love it is all the beautiful birds I see on area walks. DH (โ€˜Darling Hubbyโ€™ for those of you not familiar with the acronym) and I come across the most incredible creatures on every trek. And thanks to my awesome iPhone, I get the best pictures.

  1. Here are three pelicans hanging out!

About KILLER KALE CHIPS

Killer Kale
Chips

In the city that never sleeps, Dr. Piperโ€™s search for the perfect wedding dress turns into the search for the perfect murderer. When famous diva Veronica Forks drops dead after eating a bag of Kenโ€™s Killer Kale Chips, suspicion falls on former-mafioso-turned-surfer-dude Ken. According to Piperโ€™s PI flashcards, Ken has the motive (she witnessed a tiff between him and Veronica), the means (the kale chips), and the opportunity (he was at the expo). But Piper's sure the surfer-dude canโ€™t be a killer and, as any good PI knows, the flashcards arenโ€™t always right. Plus Brownie, Piper's pet pot-bellied pig, is addicted to Kenโ€™s Killer Kale Chips, and if Kenโ€™s arrested, Brownie will never snack again! So Piper takes it upon herself to root out the murderer who's adding "killer seasoning" to kale chips before he strikes again.

Re: Patrice Lyle | My Top 5 Most Beautiful Florida Bird Pictures

What wonderful pictures. I've seen pelicans and herons when my parents lived in Seattle on the beach. Here in AK, I've had black bear and cubs on my deck, a every big!!!!! grizzly on my deck, ermine, lynx and needless to say: moose and calves. Whales-beluga and great whales and mountain goats as well.

I live on a lake and see geese, ducks, turtles and we also have
eagles in our area. I like your pictures.
