No Dogs on the Beach
by easterntrekker
Even though there are many dog lovers in Englewood , our furry friends are not permitted on the beaches. Stump Pass Park however allows dogs on the trail that leads to the beach . Our dog doesn't seem to mind that his walk ends before the beach itself!
The Palms - Golf
by easterntrekker
We played 18 holes here . It's a fabulous . It's a Par 72 with lots of challenge. ( Including the sand trap, with me in it in the picture. For the most part its pretty wide open though. After 2PM twilight rates kick in and you can play 18 for $25.00 including a cart. Hard to beat!
See the osprey nests

We love to watch the osprey as we don't see them in Nova Scotia . The Osprey , which is sometimes called the sea Hawk eat fish and build their big nests high in bare trees in plain view. Here's is a picture of one just leavinng their nest.
See A Space Launch
by easterntrekker
We were so excited to beable to see the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-119 high in the sky over our heads ! We are a good 4 hour drive from the launch pad so it was a real treat that we actually caught is site of it. Last we we drove to Cocoa Beach to see it up close and were disappointed when it was delayed, so this was a special treat. In front of the line of pink smoke we could see what looked like a star , just ahead of it as it trailed upward . Within minutes the smoke disappeared and a snow white cloud appearred. We thought that might have been when they left our atmosphere. Such an amazing thing!!
Florida Turtle

I think one of the reasons I enjoy golfing here so much is for the wildlife . I always especially enjoy seeing turtles and we spotted this little guying the late day March sun last week . I think he is a Red-bellied turtle but I might be wrong .
