Last night and last full day in Florida

There was a pool party the last night we were there--this is the pool. It turned out that most of the zookeepers were at another pool, but the 12 or 15 of us at this one had a nice time.

One more look at the sunrise over the lake.

Before I even got out of the hotel I found more wildlife. This cicada killer wouldn't let me pick her up, but I managed this shot in the dark.

The next floor down I found this nice beetle.

There's a lot to be said for a Florida sky.
