John and Ellen, it was great meeting you the other day. The only butterflies I found in Manatee Park were painted on the sidewalks. I had success today chasing one for a about a mile.I visited Caloosahatchee Regional Park in Alva Florida today to do some hiking. It is a beautiful little park with some great trails. I spent the entire afternoon wandering and just enjoying being outside.
On our way back from the park we decided to treat ourselves to some BBQ. On the menu was “Hoppin John.” I have black eye peas and ham in the van. Tomorrow I will be making a run on the grocery store for some rice. I found a recipe on the net that sounds good and we shall see if it is any good tomorrow night. Hoppin John is a southern dish. Raymond Sokolov states in his book "How to Cook", that Hoppin' John is named after a crippled African American who sold it on the streets of Charleston, South Carolina as far back as 1841. It is some eatin.
Enjoy the pictures of Caloosahatchee Regional Park.

Great photos of the Caloosahatchee Regional Park. If you are still in the area, another very enjoyable park is “Caloosahatchee Creeks”. The park is not far from the regional park you visited. Caloosahatchee Creeks is located on Bayshore Road (runs parallel with highway 80), literally in back of the power plant, the same one in front of Manatee Park. If you reach Interstate 75, then you have gone too far. Safe travels to you and Jane.

Now you've done it! Suzy wants the recipe for Hoppin John! You'll have to post that one soon!
I like the picture with the shadow on the tree. At first I thought it was a frog, but when I looked again it looked like someone waving a top hat in the air. What an imagination I have.
If another comment shows up it'll be the one that disappeared so I wrote another which would be this one.
The pictures you take are incredible! The detail that your camera captures amazes me ever time I look at them. Some day I might have to splurge on one of those haha
