— LAKE OKEECHOBEE — FLORIDA ROAD TRIP
July in Florida…You don’t stray far from air conditioning or the pool. If you want to do something outdoors…and your not at the beach… Its at the crack of dawn or right before sunset. If you get alittle stir crazy… jump in the car… air blasting… and drive! 6:30 Saturday morning found us on the road… Our goal: Lake Okeechobee. The largest lake in Florida. The 8th largest lake in the US. We live in Central Florida near the Gulf of Mexico and a stones throw from a beautiful chain of lakes. For amateur photographers these areas of water provide a plethora of photo ops. They are always teeming with human, animal and avian activity. So…camera batteries charged…memory cards empty…lenses packed… Anticipation is high. A 4 hour drive… on small roads… thru small towns in South Central Florida. Stuckey, Mascotte, and Dundee…taking pics along the way… Interesting Artwork… Good eats…
