Camping at Ortono Lock on the Caloosahachee River, La Belle, Fl.

Monday, October 28, 2013

Hurry, hurry, scurry, scurry.  We are not sure we can keep this pace up!  We just don't seem to have time to  do everything we like to do.  It's really been a rough week running hither and yon.  Doing this and that.  So many things to do and so little time to do them.  If you want to take a picture of us, you'll need a camera with a super fast shutter speed, otherwise, the picture will be just a blur.

Well, I set my camera shutter speed on the highest setting and I was finally able to get this picture.
Yes, that's us doing what we do best...nothing.  Even Kallie enjoys sitting along the Caloosahachee River and watching the boats go by.  We only move our chairs when the shade disappears.  All day long, day after day just relaxing and we never seem to get enough of it.

In fact, we been sitting so long that these Vultures decided to check us out and see if we are still alive!  They circled around and then landed on these posts at the foot of our campsite.  They kept starring at us and started licking their chops...or beaks...or something.   I was just about to dose off again, when they forced me to move so I could take this picture.  Darn birds anyway!


After the Vultures visit, we decided to get out of our chairs and take a walk.  Gotta keep in shape so we won't look like Jaba the Hut!  But, as luck would have it, our exercise was cut short when we came upon this fellow!
Help! Someone call The Gator Boys and get this thing out of here!


We really enjoy watching the boats pass by on the Caloosahachee River here at Ortono Lock Campground. This river is part of the Okeechobee Water Way that connects Florida's East and West coasts.  You never know what you might see cursing down this river!








Check out this "house boat"!


Here's what the river looks like when you're on it.  I had to walk on water to take this picture!

After keeping up the pace we've had here, I don't know how I had enough energy left to write this blog!
