Ocala's Charming Appleton Museum of Art

I was delighted with our visit to the museum. It is beautiful and we spend two hours just enjoying all the amazing works of art. The collection covers many mediums and areas of the world. 

Wildlife at Homosassa Springs State Park

Today we visited Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. It is about 45 minutes from our house in Ocala. What an amazing place. We saw lots of wildlife and I am going to share a few of them with you here

Tour of the Weeki Wachee River

The Weeki Wachee River winds through Hernando County, Florida and offer plenty of opportunities to kayak and canoe. The boat tour offered by Weeki Wachee Springs State Parks provides great views the beauty of the river and the flora and fauna that are part of this area.

Weeki Wachee Springs has been an attraction for over 60 years. While the mermaids are probably what they are best known for, we certainly enjoyed the boat ride on the river and the peacocks.
