February 20, 2022 - AL Anderson and Craig Parks
|
||||||
| Today, we checked out AL Anderson Park, a little park on the west side of big Lake Tarpon. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
AL Anderson park may have been little, but it was by far the prettiest one we had been to this trip, not counting the Leu's Botanical Gardens.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| A couple actually got married on this boardwalk right before we arrived. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| The pictures don't do the scenery justice. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Next Lynnette and I headed over to Craig Park on Whitcomb Bayou. Here Lynnette tries to imitate a mermaid. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
There was a nice walkway along the Bayou.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Craig Park had an interesting little museum called the Tarpon Springs Heritage Museum. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Florida back in the day must have been quite something. Primeval wilderness.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
|
The museum featured some impressive Florida water-related paintings done by Christopher Still.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Amazingly, Still did some of his painting underwater using this device. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| This paper-machete manatee would be the only one we would see this Florida trip. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Another afternoon at Howard Park Beach, this time without the fog. | ||||||
