Hello from Crystal River, Florida

Left Clearwater this morning and headed to Sarasota to check it out for a bit.  Went to Sarasota Jungle Gardens and took pics of, guess what?, animals!!!!



But I wanted to show you something else.  As we were leaving Zephyrhills we went by and looked at this tree a short distance from Max's.  It is called a camphor tree, the one that makes camphor oil.  The cool thing about it is that where the limb touches the ground it grabs the limb and grows another tree.  It was pretty
astonishing.





 Look at the size if this trunk









 this limb you see is a new tree from and old limb touching the ground





It is kind of hard to see but in the back ground is the original tree.  The one in the sunlight is a tree growing from a limb of the old tree.


Not to much for you to see tonight but we have a whole lot more for you to see.

Love to all, until next time
