SOOC

a calendar of scenes from this park .. would be an idea... the day was warm, yet comfortable at 86 deg F... a siight breeze across the water .. calling of the birds .. turtles appearing, then disappearing beneath the surface.. beautiful place to be ... ^SOOC © All rights reserved

is kept beautiful for Mother Nature.. some humans seem to think any body of water is suitable to discard trash .. so, the reflections of tree branches , leaves and the lily pads which float on top of Lake John .. their beauty is marred by man.. ..taken at Lake John in Peterson Park, Polk County, Florida ^SOOC (c) All Rights Reserved

to look at the beauty around.. above... below .. this park fills your senses .. so many things to see .. listen to the birds in the trees .. catch sight of an Ibis in flight.. there is a turtle.. coming up for a breath of air ... ^SOOC This photo is seen in: UNLIMITED PHOTOS: No Rules, Free For All Peterson Park, Lakeland FL © All rights reserved
