Lake Ned Sunrise, Winter Haven, New Years Day, January 1, 2012

It was too irresistible to not catch the first sunrise of the new year, so I journeyed to Lake Ned on Cypress Gardens Rd in Winter Haven.

Address: 231 Lake Ned Road, Cypress Gardens, Florida

I arrived at sunrise 7:18 am and was not disappointed at the view awaiting me.

 

During my 45 minutes at Lake Ned, I observed Ibis

Sandhill Cranes flying overhead with their unique, beautiful trumpeting

Lake Ned has a nice setting for family picnics, BBQ's and children's recreation

If you enjoy birdlife, sunrises and sunsets or just sitting with your Honey, 

Lake Ned is a nice serene location to migrate to.

If you like to recreate on the water, Lake Ned has a boat ramp at this location.

There's an activity for all ages at Lake Ned. 

Lake Ned seems a suitable place for all creatures and not only humans. 

There is sufficient green space for children AND dogs to play and roam

then afterwards, benches provide a nice place to sit, meditate and soak up the Polk County sun :)

 Like my photos? Would you like a digital copy of something you see?
