Florida looks lovely and exotic! My best friend, a FL native, thought I was weird for taking pictures of lizards. She didn't know we don't have such creatures up here in the wild!

The place is Florida, and we're delighting in what I'm told is an unusually warm February. Definitely noticing an increase in productivity.
