I enjoy looking for birds and other wildlife in my community. Here is a recent sampler.
I like capturing them taking off, flying or landing. Top to bottom: a roseate spoonbill, tricolored heron, white ibis and white egret.

I have driven past Buffalo Chips Restaurant on Old Route 41 in Bonita Springs many times. The mural on one side of the building is what usually caught my eye. But, I recently read a very positive review of the food, particularly the chicken wings. It was time to go inside.
Sally is one of the owners, a niece of the man who founded the restaurant 41 years ago. He is from Buffalo and is known as the "King of Wings." Sally showed me around.
A football jersey signed by retired Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly is a prized possession.
As is a robe from Muhammad Ali. "The Greatest."
The garage showed a gleaming mint condition 1928 Ford Model A. It was probably not as beautiful when it left the factory floor. Nor as expensive.
I had an itty bitty car repair that had to be done. (A brake light.)
While I was there, I got to admire a pretty cool Cobra kit car sitting on the dealer's floor.
Celebration Park is a popular food truck venue southeast of downtown Naples.
Our Everglades (airboat) and Big Cypress (swamp buggy) tours were operated by Wooten's, Wooten's is the successor to tours run by Seminoles in the Everglades. The Wooten family took them over in 1953.
Wooten's offers guests an opportunity to hold either a two pound or a fifteen pound alligator. Bands keep the gators' mouths closed. I would have loved to hold a gator, but my hands were full.
