A fun way to travel and meet local people who share your interests is through MeetUp.com. With Meet Up you quite simply go to MeetUp.com and look for groups that match your interests close to home or where you want to travel, look for meet up times that fit your schedule, and meet some new people! It’s simple and fun. It’s a great way to make new friends anywhere, as well as to find out what local people recommend as the best things to see, and the best places to eat and shop, etc. in the local area.
Since thinking about starting this blog one of the local attractions that I knew I should get back to, to write about is Sarasota Jungle Gardens. It is one of the must do’s for people visiting this area. Seeing that a local digital photography MeetUp was getting together there, I saw a great opportunity. I got to meet several new friends and revisit this wonderful place to get some photos to share with you. Many of these folks are far more experienced with cameras than I but I felt very welcome with them and had a great day. I also got lots of great photos a few of which I’ll share here.
Sarasota Jungle Gardens bills itself as a Tropical Adventure, and indeed it is. Here you can wonder down lush jungle paths,
be amazed by tropical birds,
and have close encounters lakeside with bright pink flamingos.
The Jungle Gardens are stunning, not only did our photo group have camera’s most everyone I saw there did. When you get there you’ll know why you absolutely want to bring a camera! The gardens are fun too with bird and reptile shows and lots of other animals to see. There is also a children’s play area, a gift shop and café by a koi pond.
If you are visiting the Sarasota area this is a must do. The Sarasota Jungle Gardens can be enjoyed by all ages, a visit here is assured to create wonderful memories of your Florida gulf coast vacation that will be treasured for years to come.
May all your life’s travels be blessed.
