    Default Landscapes from St Marks

    I returned yesterday from North Florida Audubon Birding trip yesterday I went on with a friend. One place we visited was St Mark National Wildlife Refuge which includes coastal areas with tidal brackish water, lots of grasslands and this lighthouse.

    Xanth is fictional magical world that was created by A well known fantasy author..Piers Anthony . This magicall realm looks remarkable like Florida in shape and the author is of course, from Florida. Everything in Xanth is magic based. The rest of the world is "Mundania" where no magic exists.

    Probably one of my favorite light reading fictional worlds. It put a love of reading into me in my earlier years.

    That first shot of the lighthouse with the clouds is my favorite. You really take postcard pictures. I like the slightly ominous feel of the clouds with lighthouse standing guard. Really nice. Can’t wait to see more. Patty
    If the discus are happy, I’m happy
