It was a dark and stormy day....

I have always wanted to start something with that sentence LOL.

I know you have too.

Anyway, it didn't get any better coming through Florida and heading

to Alabama.

That is the county seat for Monticello, Fl.

Isn't that dramatic??

 It's a beautiful building up close.

 This was too cool to pass up but I had

to take it quick sooooo that's my window screen you're

looking through.

 As you know I adore buildings that are not

necessarily in good shape so be warned

you'll be seeing a lot of them.

 We take the secondary roads as much as possible

(unless we're in a hurry) so I pass the time

snapping things that interest me.

 And hopefully you...

 This house had a ton of flags in the yard. 

I couldn't get them all through the window.

 Hassled mama duck and her ducklings trying

to get a close up of them.

Totally adorable.....but mama wasn't happy with me and

they finally swam off.

 He was a cute little bugger.

 And this guy - quite the poser.

Walked right up - had to back off with the zoom LOL.

 I actually think people may live here.

Not sure.

 And the farms, silos and tractors, oh my.

Love them all.

 Sunset over the lake at our second camp that we

swung in by the skin of our nose.

Funny story there - we were actually looking for Hugh Smith

State Park and ended up at the North Abutment 

but for another park. 

And they were totally FULL.

The camp host, Clyde, was trying to make a spot for us

and found one when bad luck befell the previous

campsite occupant.

His awning blew off and tore in half so they left

a day early to get it fixed.

 And who can resist sunset with ducks

gliding across the water.

Not me....
