Today was an unseasonably beautiful day with temps in the mid-70’s. (It’s normally well into the mid-80’s by now with feels-like temps into the 90’s.) And, having worked my butt off getting 8 orders made on Sunday, packed and shipped today (hopefully) in time for Mother’s Day, I rewarded myself with an afternoon romp around Busch Gardens Tampa. It was just too pretty to be indoors today!<\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough to arrive at the lions just at feeding time so I was able to get some really excellent shots of them. Here’s two of the male lion I quite liked.<\/p>\n

It was really quite enjoyable to just walk around the park, take in the sights, take a bunch of photos and just spend a few hours doing whatever I wanted. I often say<\/i> I’m going to run out for photos and such, but in reality I just never actually do it. Today, I did. And it was great! And, I even got to pet a kangaroo. So you know, can’t hate on that.<\/p>\n

It was just the kind of lovely day I needed and I am still smiling from my enjoyable day out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
