If you've never been to Celebration, it's a town that was developed by the Walt Disney Company. It was designed to have an early 20th century feel. Houses generally have large balconies, no high-density housing, and lots of parkland and walking area.
We've walked around the main lagoon at the bottom of Market Street a few times. There is always something to see, especially various water birds. When Alicia was here, she and I walked across the board walk on the other side of the lagoon, and came upon another lagoon in a secluded residential area. Yesterday, Walter and I walked around that lagoon and found another boardwalk. That led us to another larger lagoon, with walking paths along it. In other words, if we're energetic, we can walk all around Celebration by keeping to the walking paths and the boardwalks. The whole area is about 20 square kilometres. We haven't walked it all, and mostly likely won't on this trip to Florida, but it will be something to keep in mind for future visits.
Walk with me along the path, and together we will explore what lies before us. One of the many walking paths in Celebration.
Water lilies almost ready to bloom.
The juxtaposition of old and new is always interesting. A few feet from the young water liles, a sign of spring, I found this dead maple leaf, a sign of autumn and winter. Even here, the seasons are represented.
Segways parked along one of the boardwalks. The tour guide and his party were down by the lagoon edge looking at an alligator in the distance.
Spring is mating season. And the squirrels were not happy with all the people walking along the boardwalks. Seems we were too close to their trees. We were roundly scolded by just about every squirrel we saw.
A snowy egret. Beautiful!
I love the reflection in the water. These houses are part of the group around the second lagoon we visited.
