I invite you to share my inspirations for a creative life and a lifetime of adventures.
Thanks so much for visiting, Jackie
This time of year always makes me wish for warmer weather. So, why not share some with you today on Friday field trip!
These photos were taken on my last visit to Naples, Florida. I walked with some friends down the Naples pier and snapped these pics…it makes me warm just thinking about it!
Enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

A recent work trip to Florida gave me the opportunity to see an alligator close up! I have been to Florida before, but never really got the chance to check one out.
The first one I saw in the wild looked like this:
Creepy looking, isn’t it? Then, I got the chance to hear a little about alligators and their habits at a sanctuary from someone that actually handles the alligators…and, this was one of the monsters he handles!
I found this guy really fascinating! He looked so prehistoric! Look at the surface of his body up close!
Now, look how ‘up close’ the handler got!
Yikes! I would never get close to that one! But, I did touch one of the smaller ones…of course it wasn’t possible for the one I touched to open his jaw the way the big one did!
I hope you enjoyed sharing my first alligator encounter on today’s Friday field trip!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
