Winter in Central Florida
a recent frost left the landscape brown and crispy
not a problem for us humans, we just don several hoodies and soxs instead of mittens
but for the tropical creatures,the unusual cold snap is very hard
when the temps creeped back up to lovely 70's
I decided to get out and look for the Ladies of the Lake
I boarded the neighborhood Paddlewheel for a afternoon tour of the River and Lakes
The Lady Gayle, one of the many steam ships at the dock
the shore line was very brown, with one lone Great Blue Heron
But the sun came out as we neared Spanish Springs
and I saw a group of Ladies
Sunning themselves on a wall
Dragon fly Merfaeries
Sing lullabyes to all the napping fish
lounging and preening
it was good to see these beautiful Ladies
Singing the Alligators to sleep
