Governor Scott in the “Environment” he knows so little about! Picture credit: Eye on Miami ??

The Global public outcry and rage about the […]

A Nine-banded armadillo in the green swamp in Central Florida Picture credit: http://www.birdphotos.com On our local ABC News this morning, came a story that sent shivers down my spine, once again.

Staff of President Clinton’s One America Initiative, the Initiative on Race Picture credit: Public Domain Watching the returns for Florida last night was a mixed blessing.

The Everglades, an exquisite Florida Natural Area Photo credit: sfwmd.gov On Election Day next Tuesday here in Florida, although not everyone will be on board, or be all that terribly concerned, a very critical Amendment is on the Ballot and it is not about who will be our next Governor. It is about protecting the most perfect, precious commodities […]

Our beloved Gopher Tortoise Harriet, on her way back to her tunnel after eating. Yesterday our local news, as usual, found a heinous, outrageous story about an animal that had been tortured and killed. It had been murdered.
