Max and I took a walk through the Hood and to the park. These cypress trees have been here for a long time, but i really looked at them for the first time and saw a photo.

Florida Manatee Veiwing center

The Manatees tend to stay below the surface so you can't see them too well.

A yellow-crowned night heron.

Visited the Manatee Veiwing Center on the 19th. Quite a few manatees and birds. Not to mention the giant power plant.

Lettuce Lake Park

One of the prettiest tropical locations in Florida.
Tampa area on the Hillsborough River.
A great place to relax and view wildlife.

I love the A Train-but the Tampa Bay Bucs sucked this weekend.

Hurricane Wilma

Hurricane Wilma is on her way. 416 miles from Tampa. Category 2 hitting near Naples. Hillsborough County offices are closed. Schools too. Our rain should begin this afternoon. Aprx. 2-3 inches of rain for Tampa due to the cold front . So looks like Tampa will escape the brunt of the storm. But, anything can change, including Wilma. State of Emergency's declared. The Keys are being evacuated.

Govenor Bush is holding a conference and he's speaking in Spanish.

Linda Giannella-ABC Action News-- is doing the weather. I went to school with her in NJ and now she's here in Tampa.




Wow, temps should get down to the 50's this week.

More Storms

Another hurricane on the way. Wilma. Hanging on the Yucatan Peninsular and then moving west to south Florida. Looks like Tampa lucked out again.

Extremely humid today. Need the rain. Cold front moving in after the storm. Finally some cool weather.
