Our river home is lovely, as usual. I believe I prefer the mountains...I am particular to cooler weather...but the river is a different life all it's own. And I love the river too.
This is a photo of the Indian River, a brackish river (fresh and salt water), that is frequently wavy due to "on shore winds" I will call them. The ocean is about 7 miles to the East from where we are, so we don't get the ocean breeze, but it is a river, and we get lot's of "on shore breeze"! The rock is Coquina, which is basically rock made from shells (click on the link if you want to learn more). I took this photo from our dock. Is should not surprise you that we are naturalists here too. We let the wild growth have it's way, nature's way:)
As I approached the dock, a blue heron sat on a piling, but flew away before I could snap the picture. You will just have to imagine him sitting on a piling on the river until I can capture him...
There is a lot of wind this afternoon, but I thought you might like to see a video of the river in action...you may want to turn down (or off) the sound...
Thanks for reading my blog, you are the best f/f/r/s/f's, see you tomorrow,
Lise

Have a great visit with the family. Squeeze that grandson for me.
36?!?!? Your garden will soon be gone.
The river video almost sounds like a storm is raging! Very interesting!
Glad you had a safe trip to FL. Big hugs to the Erin, Jessica and Liam...and you too!
Patti, I will give Liam a big squeeze for sure, and the end of the garden is exactly why this is a quick trip...have to be there for the very last picking!
Will do dad, hugs back to you!
