When you drive around Lakeland, you pass lots of lakes. The City of Lakeland says that there are a total of 38 named lakes within City limits, as well as numerous smaller lakes. Sizes among the 38 named lakes range from 2.5 acres (Lake Blanton) to 2,272 acres (Lake Parker) of which 17 are natural and 21 are man-made. Lake Parker is the large lake behind my condo development. Today I’m sharing a few photos of another lake I passed in my drives.

...water can be one of nature's treasures!
ReplyDeleteI love all the waterways in Florida. Even when driving I always see water and it is so pleasant,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy water views; it's calming!
DeleteLovely lakes! Add the palm trees and you have a real paradise. ♥
ReplyDeleteSo many great nature spots over there with all of those lakes. Lake Hancock at Circle B and Lake Morton with those swan babies.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder they call it Lakeland. What a beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteTerrific place.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky and lake photos ~ Hugs ^_^
ReplyDeleteAre there still swans there>
ReplyDeleteYes, there are lots of swans in Lake Morton, and the city has a lady whose job is to take care of the swans. That's the only lake with swans. Remember many lakes in Florida can also have gators!
DeleteYour lake photos are absolutely lovely. Lakeland really earns its name — 38 lakes is incredible, and the mix of natural and man‑made ones makes every drive feel scenic. Lake Parker behind your condo must be such a peaceful view, and the lake you featured today looks like a perfect spot to pause and enjoy the sky and palms.
ReplyDeleteThat is surely a lot of lakes for one city.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Lakeland really lives up to its name! Beautiful photos, Carol. Do the birds find them attractive?
ReplyDeleteYes, there are lots of birds. I know names of some but not all. Unfortunately, I don't have your knowledge or equipment for taking photos. I'm really a basic point and shot girl. You are extremely skilled!
Deletewhat a great path to walk/cycle along that lake.
