Florida pictures (mainly wildlife)

I think it is partially your charming English accents that bring out the best in Americans

Hee hee, well, I dunno if my accent is that charming. My parents; perhaps; because they are both from more southern regions of England where speech is a bit gentler and more refined, but my brother and I had to often repeat ourselves when talking to some locals because they found it difficult to make out words in our slightly harsh accents. One clued-up Floridian however did say, "You're from the north of England, aren't you?" when I said, "Look at them luvly 'ouses over thur" whilst looking out a restaurant window at houses overlooking the sea. Still, I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. That reminds me that maybe we need a 'Let's hear you' thread sometime soon.

LOL Alyssa, still working on convincing the parents that NJ should be our next holiday destination.

Thank you so much, everybody! It is great to be back here after two weeks, I did miss PT quite a lot! Also, it was a good feeling knowing that I was on the same continent as the majority of PTers, even though I didn't get to meet any. Living in the UK, it often feels like I'm very far away on a secluded little island.

Very nice pictures, Zara! Those pictures of the dolphins are fantastic

Love the house you stayed in, I love Florida homes. They're all so pretty.

I loved seeing your pictures. I think I appreciate the nature that surrounds me more than others around here, but still your pictures and captions have shoen me that I don't appreciate it nearly as much as I should.

I've never been down as far south as you were and some of the things you posted we don't have up here (I'm a little north of Orlando). I loved seeing the tree climbing crab!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip.
