I have lived in Florida all my life. I grew up in a beach town just blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and could walk to the beach any time I wanted to. It wasn't as touristy as some other areas of the state, but still pretty typical of what people think of when they think of the Sunshine State. When I left home to attend Florida State University in Tallahassee, I discovered what some people call the "other Florida", a place with a slower pace, rolling hills, lots of trees and not as many tourists. After I graduated from college, I decided to stay because I liked it so much. I've been here ever since. I am now retired and would not want to live anywhere else. It is where I belong.
The first day of the month is Theme Day in the City Daily Photo Community. To see other members' interpretations of this month's theme, be sure and visit the CDP Theme Day gallery.

It is fun to read how you got to where you belong. Lovely!
Lindas belas fotografias.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
I lived in Florida for a time and it was someplace I felt at home. Your choices for the theme day express the natural beauty of Florida perfectly!
I understand absolutely Lois. A super series of images to highlight your decision.
I wouldn't leave it either, hope you will still stay there for a long time.
Hello, sounds like my kind of place to live. Very pretty and less crowds. Beautiful shots! Have a happy day!
Nice series of photos to explain where you belong. Sounds like you made the right decision staying in Tally!
Nice, Lois! North Florida has some distinct advantages. The area around Tallahassee is quite special, and I'm so glad that you have found happiness where you are, and for your wonderful photos of your "home."
Beautiful photos to illustrate what draws you and keeps you to this special area for you!
A nice selection, and exactly where I thought you would be most at home.
Beautiful!
We all are so lucky that you love where you belong. We enjoy your wonderful images of "where you belong".

I have been in Florida only half a day a long time ago, but I understand you. Thanks for these wonderful images!
I was in Florida as a child- Disney and a few other tourist spots. I'd love to return and see some of the quiet. Lovely shots, Lois!
I believe I could belong beneath that Spanish Moss!
Your photos illustrate the love you have for the area.
Lovely shots for the Theme Lois!

Nice to come down where you ought to be.
I lived in Florida for 15 years (Miami-Ft Lauderdale area) and it holds a special place in my heart too.
Those quiet parts of Florida are so special. Glad you found your spot, Lois!
Lovely shot.
Lovely landscapes and the white bird is beautiful.
Is anything much more atmospheric than Spanish moss?
