Florida then and now!

Ocala national forest | Paisley Florida | Central Florida

Paisley Florida

 

 

Paisley is in Lake County, in the Orlando metro area in central Florida.

The community was named after our sister town (city) a town in Scotland.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to visit the country of Scotland while serving in the service back in the 60’s and I will never forget the people or the land.

Please enjoy a few web sites sent to me by a friend in this great country.

I do not know why and I do not care why however, a ½ dozen Ibis

paid us a visit last night and they were still up in our long

needle pine trees over our back patio this morning.

I love his place!

 

The White Ibis is a wading bird of the Deep South, the striking White Ibis is frequently seen on lawns looking for large insects as well as probing for prey along the shoreline.

The Glossy Ibis nests colonially in trees, often with herons. It is also gregarious when feeding in marshy wetlands; it predates on fish, frogs and other water creatures, as well as occasionally on insects

This little guy lives in our Spring Lily’s and our shed

Or

Wherever he wishes to live (J)

 

 

 

 

Paisley Florida this is our city all 734 of us.

 

 

The only thing better than going out the back door first thing in the morning with a hot cup of coffee to smell the Spring Lily’s and saying

 

 “Good Morning”

to the green frogs inside of the flowers would be getting permission from our Lizards for the right to go outside in the first place!

Our Lizards think that they are the Jack Russell terriers of the Lizard world! J

Spring Lily’s grow all around our home and the frogs, Lizards and toads think that the flowers are their own special playground, Oh wait a minute they are!

 

 

Guess what was in our yard?

Even though we put a 6’ fence around the house to help protect Sabrina from the traffic on the road we got an unexpected visit from a family of Sand hill cranes, Donna’s favored bird.

Poor Sabrina, all she could do was stand at the window with her whole body shaking while watching their every move.

Bald eagle

Because we live in the Ocala forest in Lake County We have many Eagles flying around the house.

 

 

scissortail.jpg

Scissor Tailed Flycatchers has been flying around our house for some time now one can see why so many people stop what they are doing and just stare in wonder; we now have a six pack of them flying all around.

sandhills002.jpg

Mom & Dad Sand hill Cranes on the way past Jacks window (Jack is our Cocktail) he called out to them until they turned around the corner past the cars into the back yard!

 
Finch

Until they leave for the trip back up north or for most of the winter months we have 40 to 50 yellow finches on our feeders.

 

 

sandhills003.jpg

Sabrina is now at the back door doing her shaking thing again every time they move, They walked all around the house back to the bird sanitary and off to tease another family, Oh well such is life!

 
We also have many types of Woodpeckers

paisley005.jpg

We even have our own post office!

sandhills004.jpg

Have you ever heard Sand Hill Cranes flying from nest to food and food back to nest?
They fly so close one would think that they scrape their feet on our roof!
 
 

The picture just above is of the two sand hill cranes and the bird sanctuary that I built in the middle of our front yard it was a great idea however, a family of coopers hawks moved in across the street and were using it for their very own dinner table and a family of squirrels moved in the tree to the side of our yard and try as we may Sabrina and I could not keep them from eating all of the bird seeds, so the picture below is the new bird/lizard sanctuary.

lizard007.jpg

This is the new Bird and Lizard sanctuary I call it this because our lizards spend more time there then the birds do.

On the left is a 12’ fence with morning glories now growing up it to slow down our hawk family.

lizard002.jpg

This is Big John

John rules the front yard and if you do not believe me just ask him, if you dare!

We are on our 3rd generation of Cardinals and I believe grandmother is carrying once again, I love this place!

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird

 

The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds

I put a feeder at the dining room window, the living room window and the back computer room.

What a great view!

 
 

My wrens will not go into the birdhouses that I built for them they would rather battle with me for my shed or the laundry room, I guess for now they have settled for under our porch!

Big mouth little bird gotta love them.

We are also on our 3rd generation of the American Doves we sometimes have 15 to 20 feeding each day and 6 to 12 that even think that the bird sanitary is their very own nest for night sleeping?

They have slowed down some because I had to move the feeding grounds to help save their lives, they will adapt!

Not too bright a bird, Donna & Sabrina’s job is to keep the Coopers hawk family from eating them L

You guested it, we have our own  Library

There are so many butterflies in central Florida that I think I will save them for my Ocala page next door to this one!

 

 

 

 

paisley001.jpg

We are trying to help grow our senior center
however we need new blood and things to do?
Another day this will take some time!

 

We have a family of Cooper's Hawks that live in the back 40 however, after I installed our birdfeeders they also built nest in the front across the street and now trying to keep them away from our song birds is a full day’s work!

harrett01_1.jpg

Harriett came to visit with us many years ago and I guess she likes it here because she made a home for herself up by the gate and comes over to watch me work around the yard while she it out eating. We make sure that when she is out we give her space.

harry03_1.jpg

Harry came calling on Harriett a few months ago and we were so happy after all grandchildren around the house is a good thing right?

It is now almost the end of mating season 06/03/08 and I have been watching the lover birds for months, I don’t know but it is looking like no grandchildren from these two!

I am thinking that poor Harriett is still far too young.

sally001.jpg

This is Sally, she looks like she was hit by a car or something, not bad just enough to mark the shell, Sally came for a visit two days ago, in the back yard Sally met Harry, Harry does not want anything to do with Sally so poor Sally went to the front yard at Harriett’s home, BIG MISTAKE, poor Sally has packed her bags and left town today.

Today 02/08/08

This girl seems to get a little cranky if you talk to her before the sun comes up, Oh well maybe I should have given her some of my coffee, NOT!

That little black dot behind her is her baby.
