While it's winter in New England,
we savor the sunshine in Vero Beach FL. This has been a restful month, mostly
hanging out with Barbara’s dad, delving into a few projects, and planning some
future travel itineraries. Stay tuned!
BUTTERFLIES
Right across from our trailer is a scruffy, blooming bush. It
attracts butterflies. Butterflies often avoid posing for our pictures, but this particular bush allowed us to “capture” a few.
BEACHES
Since it is only a ten minute drive, we’ve tried to walk the
beach as often as we can. Our routine is to walk together for 3/4 mile, then Barbara strolls
back while Bill continues with a brisk, 3.4-mile walk.

We love to see the various
ways people enjoy the beach: sunbathers, swimmers, surfers, fishermen, volleyball players, shell
collectors, joggers, walkers, metal detectors, and we even saw a powered
paraglider.

While walking the beach we watch the shore birds run back and forth amidst the waves foraging for food. Bird watching reminds us of Barbara's mom, an avid bird watcher. We are total beginners at bird identification, but we just downloaded a bird identification app to help us along.
