A little Busker on Main St. Dunedin.

 

12 year old Shay Morgan working as a Busker,

 to raise money for a trip to Nashville, to buy a new Bass.

A Busker: a person who performs music or other entertainment in the street 

or another public place for monetary donations.

Shay is even cuter in person than these photos can show.

Mandolin, Guitar, Fiddle, and Banjo.

A long short trip to Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and finally Florida.

What a Long Strange Trip It's Been...

I just got back from a three week Walk-About.  [an informal stroll among a crowd conducted by an important visitor.]

McAlester, Oklahoma

Searcy, Arkansas

Gulfport, Mississippi

The Park and the animals

Parks in Florida, there's more than meets the eye.

The Gopher Tortoise is native to the southeastern United States. The gopher tortoise is seen as a keystone species because it digs burrows that provide shelter for at least 360 other animal species.

The gopher tortoise is one of five North American tortoise species and is the only tortoise naturally found east of the Mississippi River.

Florida law prohibits any person from killing or wounding gopher tortoises, which are considered “threatened” in the state of Florida. Violating the law is a third-degree felony and punishable by up to five years in prison, a $5,000 fine or both.
