Sanford, FL

How many of these metal bridges are left?

Sort of reminds me of Bridges of Madison County and brings back yesteryear. Wouldn't it be something to have a wedding on this bridge or propose to your loved one?

Make it a party, bring a picnic basket, and the boat ramp is right here!

Talk about wining and dining...this would be Rhine-ing and dining...like being on the Rhine river in Paris which is quite wonderful.

So, this preservation from the 1930's seems worthwhile to preserve history for future generations.

Engineering and CAD pc programs have probably made bridge designing much easier.

This probably also benefited the steel industry and provided work for people to feed their families and be able to buy homes, cars and the like to enable us to live in a good economy.

It didn't seem this cloudy by the water but this photo is rather dark since night is approaching. Just say goodbye to this trip to the Historic & Boat Park, till the next time...

Does this Tug of War statue evoke any emotions within you?

We have all been there.

What was your situation if you can share it with others?

Sometimes it can be a family member, a friend, a buyer or seller, or just kids playing around.

It can be challenging no matter who it is with. In this statue they all look evenly matched so that makes the fight a little less easy to call.

This statue is in Sanford, Florida in Seminole county in the Sylvan Lake Preserve church and meeting hall at the entrance. It is a good theme for a church since we all wrestle or tug with things at times.

Yes, in Central Florida Orlando Magic is having a bit of a tug of war too.

Just participating in the game sometimes can bring out the team spirit we were all born with and do not always use.

Whatever team you choose-GO TEAM!

Doesn't this look inviting?

On the north side is DeBary and Deltona, Florida (FL) so it is on the border of Seminole and Volusia counties. It is one mile north of I-4 on Route 17/92. The historical swinging bridge is used as a fishing pier. Weddings and special parites evets are held here because the ambiance abounds.

This Horse in Lake Mary/Healthrow, Florida on the park trail was just checking out the camera.

This horse just loves the camera, maybe this is a former movie star horse like Black Beauty. THe white patch between the eyes is distinctive and matches the fence. This horse has an owner that loves it since it has made it a beautiful fence and a giant area to roam. There is even a pond to go for a swim!

This looks like a farm but it is right behind Panera Bread on the Lake Mary/Heathrow, Florida line just down the road from Sanford, Florida and Route 46 and the Seminole Town Center mall.

There are actually more horses, but this one stole the show.

There is a long trail to walk, bike, run or inline skate with some hilly parts. There are benches for rest and a playground for kids by the condo's that have a view of this sight.

There is a Kinko's, smoothie restaurant, jeweler, wine shop, and another restaurant that has a loyal following and you would never know it from this photo that civilization is just footsteps away.

If you are relocating...and want to avoid some of the coastal hurricanes, then Heathrow, Florida or Sanford, Florida might be made for you.

There are lakes, parks, trails, canoe areas, kayaking, bicycle lanes, shopping, fine and casual dining, theaters, and much more.

Heathrow, Florida is home to a famous basketball player who just won a championship, I won't mention any names! It is gated so he has security so please let him have some privacy. Sylvan Lake and Lake Monroe are nearby.

Just a short drive from Healthrow, Florida is Sanford, Florida and the picture below is the downtown area.

Sanford, Florida has a pleasant downtown. It has the old fashioned charm of yesteryear combined with a modernized cleaner streetscape.

The attorneys offices and the courthouse is located here.

There is a famous German Restaurant and in the Lake Monroe area entertainment type restaurants for a festive mood.

Take your time to take a stroll especially now that the rain has stopped and we are back to being Sunny Florida!
