Lesser Scaup in Lake Eola, Downtown Orlando, FL January 20, 2018

Common in Florida during the Winter time.

This baby ( I think is a mottled duck) was injured at some point, but it looks like it is doing ok now. Still breaks my heart. I took this picture the same day as the Lesser Scaup in Lake Eola.

Do you love the place you live at?

In a regular year I plan to travel at least six times, at least two of those six are major travel plans out of the US, the others are more local here in US. But in times like this that we can not travel we have to re focus and value the marvelous place where we live. I live in Florida and to be honest I am not a fan of the outdoors here, just the weather and the beach are what attracts me and is home… I been here for 23 years. But I want mountains, I don’t want alligator, neither tannic waters or wetlands or anything in that line. I am an outdoor person and I had learn to appreciate the outdoors here for other reasons (birds and other wildlife that are not alligators).

Anyways, I had learned … specially now, to value and appreciate the natural beauty of my hometown now more than ever.

(Still I wish I can go to Europe right now 😬)

What do you like from the place you live?

Do you recognize this place?

Sometimes I think I take for granted the privilege that I have to work for a company that allows me to visit this place anytime I want. On my free time I can visit any of the Disney Parks anytime I want. My favorite is Animal Kingdom! Indeed!! And yes my favorite world is Pandora.

We are living now in difficult times, going to the park is a risk of getting sick. But I know Disney is a responsible company and if you really want to go, just be responsible as well and do your part. 🙂

Have you seen something so impressive?

I dreamt for so long to see the Cliffs of Moher personally. I have seen them in documentaries, on pictures, on movies and they seem so unreal to me. An intangible dream.

In March 2017 we went to Ireland and the intangible dream became a real encounter with the magnificent beauty. Impressive carving, dramatic color blending, a massive piece of art is what the Cliff of Moher are to me. Please see it for yourself.
