As you can see from the bio, I'm into #OutdoorActivites of all kinds. Camping, hiking and beach trips especially. Big-time tree hugger who loves to take pix of all that stuff. My other passion: cooking -- indoors or out -- and baking. Want to live rustically one day & homestead.

@MizHyde1171 Hello, I'm a Lefty tree-hugger from Florida who's into camping, hiking and trying to keep our environmental problems from continuing to get worse by the day. Following you now. Follow back? #GetOutdoors #NoPlanetB

A scene from Florida's #LakeKissimmeeStatePark taken about 2 years ago. I'm headed back soon-ish but would love to have some cooler temps first. Summers are sizzlin' here in the Sunshine State and this one's been pretty brutal...

I will most certainly be going back to #HighlandsHammockStatePark soon. We were just able to scratch the surface in our 2 day excursion.

Camp store very well stocked w/ the usual stuff & more. Unlike many other Parks, this store is open 7 days a wk. We often camp on "school days" because of work hours & have had 2 head 2 the nearest big box store 4 stuff I could have bought on site if the store wasnt weekends only

Got back from a camping adventure at Highlands Hammock State Park six days ago. It was a blast. That gem of a park is just outside Sebring, Florida. It's one of the 8 original Parks in Florida's State Park System.

I was reflecting a bit on the #CircleOfLife this morning; It was fine material for a blog post. #Nature #Mortality The Circle of Life da-bulldog-blog.com/2023/12/13/the…

It's been a little chilly here in West-Central Fla lately. And I'm lovin' it! We don't get a lot of relief from those 90+ degree conditions down here...

Komodo Dragon snapped at WDW Animal Kingdom in 2020. He seemed like his day was going alright. Frankly, I found him to be rather aloof. #GetOutdoors

Love it! Cutest Robin I've seen all day!

As a long-time resident of Florida & confirmed beach bum, this article blew me away. Contempt on all the Climate Deniers out there. This is insane. Our Planet is suffering greatly at our hands and it may be too late to do anything about it. #NoPlanetB nbcnews.com/news/weather/h…

Loved this! Passing it along today...

@nature_michelle @ThePhotoHour Beautiful! Not having the best of days today and photos like yours are a big help in getting me pointed in a better direction. Thanks!

Good morning! The very distinctive copper head of a female Blackcap. Simply beautiful 🤎 #BirdsOfTwitter #birdphotography #birds #TwitterNatureCommunity #TwitterNaturePhotography #nikonphotography #birdwatching @thephotohour #simplicity #copper #Tuesday

@bushcamp2 Nice! I can tell you've been a busy camper! You know, for my part, i just love puttering around in my garden. Sadly, it's leading to a lot of eyestrain for me. I think I need some weeding glasses! Sorry, I couldn't resist!😆

Doing a bit of weeding in the garden at camp. It’s coming along nicely!!

I've been dying to make it to the beach or camp for a couple of nights for a while now. But work commitments and our daily rains have kept me from pulling it off. I'm over it. A photo from a previous trip of mine will just have to assuage my angst & frustration for now...
