Tarpon Turtle Was My Destination For Lunch Today

Tarpon Turtle on Lake Tarpon was indeed my destination for lunch today with a good friend and former colleague from my teaching days. Natalie and I met and spent a couple of hours enjoying the sunshine and good food.

We also watched the heron, egret and gators as they watched us enjoying lunch. One little egret came right over to the table and I thought he was going to hop into the plate!

Too bad the wind was blowing so hard. It made a jacket necessary and I was wearing my snow boots........but I always wear them when the temperatures dip below 68 degrees!

Barbara, 68 degrees sounds wonderful to all of us who are living farther North. Thanks for the post.

Barbara-Jo... this sounds like so much fun.  Too bad you couldn't get a picture of the Egret who tried to join you for lunch.  That would have been fun.

I'm so glad you didn't start talking about eating a turtle for lunch.  That would have made me sad... poor lil guy.

Have a great week!

Barbara Jo,

             You sound like me it gets in the 60's and I am cold. What a great way to spend some time on a Monday! I hope the rest of your week goes as well!

Barbara-Jo - It looks like you had a great day, despite the cooler weather.  From where I'm sitting, 68 sounds like bathing suit weather, not snow boots!  Lunch in Lake Tarpon sounds like the perfect way to start your week!  Enjoyed the post and photos!

Herons egrets and gators together.  I hope they behaved themselves and didn't snack on each other.

It looks windy. We have been holding on for days because the winds have been up to 60 miles an hour over the weekend. I get cold too at 68 or even 72.

We've gotten so spoiled living down here that we actually try to eat inside most of the time.  It's always too windy, too hot, too cold, too sunny, too cloudy.  Whats wrong with us???????

Your weather looks pretty inviting when compared to the snow in Maryland.
