Plus, I provide some channel updates for you all, including updates for my Buy Me a Coffee app and the Choose Your Adventure 2K Subs... thing... haha!
For the Coffee Buddies membership, I wanted to clarify as well that new members will get a special shoutout in the videos too! I'm also constantly trying to think of new incentives and things I can do to make the experience worthwhile for you all.

Thank you jejijaxi for sponsoring this video's coffee! And thank you Marcela for becoming my newest coffee buddy!!
We hit 2K subs between the time of me filming this and uploading it, so check out the community tab on my RUclips page to vote for the topic of my upcoming video! Thank you all again so much, I can't thank you enough for the kind words and all of the support!!!
Congratulations on 2K, Cris! I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving. I’ve been a silent watcher since Tampa Jay told us about your channel, but I’ve really been enjoying your content. Each time you upload, it’s definitely a highlight of my day to sit down, relax and join along your adventures with you. Excited to see what’s to come!
Aw, this is so incredibly sweet! Thank you for watching all this time and for commenting with these really kind words! I really appreciate it! So glad you are enjoying the videos, it really makes all of this incredibly meaningful! Thank you again! :)
I always look forward to seeing your calming videos. As I watch I can feel my blood pressure go down and my anxiety release.
Thank you so much. Can't wait for the next one.
“The coffee is starting to disintegrate my insides.” Classic
LOL all day every day!
Wonderful Nature sceneries
So happy Jay found you and then we all found you! That was a beautiful walk thank you! Love the hat, Adirondacks are total kick back and enjoy the moment chairs
Aw, thank you so much Cindy!!! I'm glad too!
Cris and Jay together are great sure, but when Cris has the chance to let her brain go off it brings me pure joy. Not trying to be funny or anything, her thoughts are hilarious, smart, witty and entertaining to the max.
Haha, I appreciate this comment very much and I'm really glad you think so!! Tells me I'm doing something right :) Thank you!
Approx 4 min. mark the hanging plants are various orchids. Over 40 years ago, the Cooperative Extension Offce was loocated on that property. The initial plantings were a volunteer effort stemming from their Agriculture and Horticulture sections. Seeing such young baby gators is really unusual! You were fortunate in your timing!
This was such a nice walk! Love the baby gators too. Congrats on 2k!! You got this! 👍🏻🙂❤️ look forward to more.
I'm so glad you enjoyed! The baby gators were so amazing, I wasn't expecting that for sure! Thank you so much! :)
This was such a relaxing video and i throughly enjoyed it. We love amateur bird watching also and very rarely find others our age that like to do it as well. Congratulations on your growing channel and all the new subscribers (of which I am one). Looking forward to more fun to come :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I would love to learn more about birds and do some actual bird watching someday! Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for watching!!
I love your videos and you and Jay are so sweet together. I like your interactions together
Thank you so much, I am so glad!! :)
I love botanical gardens and no one goes to them. Hit as many as you can. Very relaxing places
Right?? Not sure why this isn't being covered extensively on RUclips haha, they are always so relaxing and peaceful! I'm glad you enjoy these videos, thank you for watching!
WOW! another great vid. Believe it or not I grew up in LARGO we use to catch snakes in jr. high out there but that was many Moons ago. Thank You for the Memories!😊👍
Oh that is cool!! Largo is a beautiful area!! Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed!!
Enjoyed the botanical garden walk with the cacti.
I'm glad Arleen, thank you!!
I love gardens so much. I think they have to be my favourite things to see in a place! Congrats on 2k!! The choose your own adventure is gonna be fun.
I love gardens too!! :) They are always super lovely! Thank you so much!!
Amazing nature walk videos for indoor workout ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
This place is literally across the street from my kiddos school and I had NO IDEA it was such a cool place!
Oh that's so cool! Well it is free and really beautiful so I hope you all can visit soon! :)
Lol about the realistic alligator! Would have startled me as well! 😂
So nice to see you on a beautiful nature walk. I can't wait to be going on some nature walks of my own in a couple of months here when the snow melts and temps get warmer. It's nice to know that there is somewhere in this country where you can do that right now. Nice.
We are very lucky here in FL during the wintertime for sure! Every other season, not so much haha! Glad you enjoyed this walk in nature, thank you for watching!!
Congrats on 2k subscribers! Many more to follow! Also I'm happy that you and Tampa Jay are now a couple! I'm glad I subscribed to your channel through him. You give us great and a different kind of videos. I thoroughly enjoyed today's one. I need to check out that Buy Me a Coffee app!
Hi Judy! Thank you so much for the kind words, this really means a lot to me!! Jay is wonderful, I am so happy we are a couple too :) I hope you continue to enjoy the videos! Thank you again!!
Sis! Yes to this whole video! "I Need more cowbell" (aka wind chime)
plants, alligators, & birds. I was super engaged and relaxed.
P.s. the sounds you heard at the end are frogs.
Haha, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!! There will definitely be more of all of that in the future and very very soon! :)
I enjoyed this. I t has been quite a while since I have been to Heritage village in Pinellas county. I am not far from Cracker country but missed the fair this year. I look forward to you and Jays visits. Sent you a few coffees. Enjoy
Aw, thank you so much Greg, I really appreciate it!! Yeah Jay and I will definitely hit the Heritage Village at some point soon. Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support! :)
@@CristheGirl I want your RUclips venture to be successful. I think it is cool what you and Jay are doing.
Love me a good nature walk! And that’s something I really enjoy about your channel too - you have a great balance of big adventures and more low-key things like this 😌 I can’t believe how much wildlife you were able to see! SO MANY GATORS; so many cutes! Just watch your ankles 🤪 This seems like a great place and I love that there’s so much to explore.
I appreciate this Parker! I like to think of the channel as a vlog of my life, more or less. Sometimes it's big adventures like Disney and Hersheypark, other times it's a stroll through nature or how I pack my clothes LOL. Thank you so much for watching and for your support as always
wife and i love your videos...
So glad you both do! Thank you!!
Congrats on 2k Cris! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned next.
Thank you so much!! :)
Congratulations on the milestone!
Crazy timing, I was just there yesterday. I love that place.
Thank you so much! Oh that is a coincidence! It is a beautiful place!!
Very nice!
Just beautiful,,I am a huge Garden Gal also,,,Love all this,,,I forgot in FLA you can have a beautiful garden all year round,,this is lovely CRIS,,, it truly is magical,,thanks Cris
Yes, that is a really amazing thing about FL, there are gardens year-round and it is very plant friendly!! So glad you enjoyed the video Lori! Thank you so much!!
Loved this video. It’s always nice to take a step back and relax in nature. Especially for one’s own mental health. Unfortunately for me, I enjoy botanical gardens and art museums, but I don’t spend a lot of time looking at each piece 😉, I keep moving along! I definitely need to learn to “slow it down” while I’m “slowing it down” lol
Haha, I do the same to be honest! I am horrible at museums, I rarely take the time to thoroughly read the information! I think sometimes just walking through them and soaking in the atmosphere can be enough though. I'm so glad you liked this video, thank you!!
I totally went in the other direction as far as topairies. I always think of Magic Kingdom in the 70s, especially the elephant ones.
Haha, that's a good one too! Also EPCOT has tons of topiaries as well!
That woodpecker was hilarious in the beginning 🤣 great vlog Cris! Honestly over the past couple years gators have become my favorite in the wild!
Thank you Paul! Yeah the gators were pretty awesome, definitely one of the major highlights of my day!
@@CristheGirl of course!
Watched until the end - while at work- which means I got paid for it 😉. Feel better soon so you can start enjoying that coffee again!
Haha, I know what you mean! :) And thank you for watching until the end, that was a lot of blabbering to get through! ;) Just from holding off on the coffee for a couple of days I already feel better! Thank you so much!
Congratulations on reaching 2.1k subscribers Cris.
Thank you so much Mike!!
First off ! CONGRATULATIONS ON 2K SUBS!
Hello there Mr. Woodpecker!
It always makes me think twice when I see those alligator warning signs, cause you know someone got way to close to an alligator. Who would do such a crazy thing? 😉 🐊 🧢 Your knowledge of plants is so awesome. You’ve taught me a ton.
For me.. Topiaries actually remind me of Edward Scissorhands. So cool that both of our minds always go to movies first and that’s why we are meant to be!
Happy you spotted all them baby gators. They are a pretty adorable. Been cool if you would have brought one back with ya! Ha.
@15:14 Holy cow is gators! Your reaction ha, My heart dropped! I thought that gator was real too ha ha. I bet you’re not the only one to have ever done that. And that happened to me when I was young at gator land. I thought the gator on the boardwalk was real.
@15:43
First of all, THANK YOU Tampa Jay!
Thanks for taking us to the Florida Botanical Gardens! I grew up in Tampa Bay and it's definitely pronounced Pie-nell-us. Though when some say it quickly it comes out more like Puh-nell-us. Either way it works! 😉
Haha, I had a feeling it was pie-nell-us! Thank you for watching! :)
Hey cris congrats on your 2k subscriptions whoowhoo 💪😊great stuff girl 👧 I really enjoy watching your video and of course jays you both speak very good very enjoyable to watch i like nature it's in my blood 😀 well anyway I definitely keep supporting yours and your man's channel
Keep up the awsum shots ,videos of Florida and other parts in the u.s
Bye for now
George from down under Australia 🇦🇺 🇭🇲🍒🍒
Thank you so much Greg! I really appreciate the kind words and I am so glad you like the videos! We both really appreciate your support, it means the world to us! More nature videos to come for sure! :D
Should've gave the woodpecker an earthquake test. 😂
My greetings, I looked up and found the latin name ; Dendrobium Lindleyi. A friend of mine managed to keep a Christmas rose for two years. And OOO YES I hold on til the end LOL
Haha, thank you so much!
Hey you were in my neck of the woods, I live in Largo !🙂 I usually walk at Taylor Park on 8th ave., you'll see gators🐊 there !
Oh very cool! Largo is a beautiful spot, I'm looking forward to spending more time there in the future! Thank you for watching!
Hey nice to see you in my backyard! Literally just about a mile away from me! Yay Largo!
Oh very cool! Largo is a beautiful place, I already can't wait to go back!
@@CristheGirl and it's very close to Clearwater Beach, one of the best beaches in the country....just too many people! Traffic, ugghh
I’m super happy I found your channel through Tampa Jays! I’m excited because I’m from Arizona and I too like nature. This video really sealed the deal for me! Can’t wait for more!
Oh cool! I am so glad you headed over here and are enjoying the content so far! Very neat you are from AZ too, I so enjoyed my time there! Lots more nature and plant videos in the future too! Thank you for watching!! :)
This garden is amazing so many varieties I love your videos the way you're doing them is perfect! congrats again on the 2K and a lot more subs to come for sure!
Thank you so much!! I'm really glad you are enjoying them!! :)
Thank you for this video. Gives me an idea for another thing to do the next time my wife and I are down. She would absolutely love going as we always have to find someplace similar in Arizona when we go for spring training...which may not be happening again this year...tone-deaf schmucks. But I digress...yes I did make it to the end of the video and it was quite relaxing actually!
That’s great! It’s an awesome place and I can’t stress enough how free it is to visit haha. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching!!
That was a Adirondack chair that you found comfy.
hey cris 🙋♀️! i've been meaning to write you a comment for a couple of days but i have been having internet issues 😐. they have been updating the server and network at my job for the last 3 days and there was a windstorm the other night and it knocked half the power to my house, but everything is back up now and almost back to normal, yay!
first, congratulations on over 2000 subs! woohoo! 🥳 such an amazing milestone and much deserved.
secondly, thank you for this beautiful walk in the botanical gardens. you really know how to show and share the beauty in our world 💖. can't wait to see what's in the future 🔮😊
p.s: holy moly i can't believe i was the first member! i know i definitely won't be the last. 😉🌱
Oh no!! So sorry to hear about your internet and power situation! I am glad it's just about back to normal! Thank you so much Marcela, I really appreciate you and your kind words as always!! So glad you enjoyed this video too, I'm glad I could shout you out on a plant-related one!! :)
I see 1,000,000+ subscribers in your future
The pig noise was likely coming from pig frogs grunting to each other 🐸❤️
Ohhhhh that is horrifying haha! Frogs are one of the few things that really scare the heck out of me!
Watched it all! Avoiding my work! 😉. Love the botanical content. My uncle lived in the .Dallas area for several years and was a member of the botanical gardens there. I never visited him there but my parents have and I’ve seen pictures. Definitely a place to go for plant lovers!
Haha, hey this is important too! ;) Oh I bet the botanical garden in Dallas is beautiful! So glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you LeeAnne!
Cool nature walk! I like to go for a nature walk, it helps me clear my mind & feel better afterwards. I shake a lot & get heartburn if I drink too much coffee, so I keep it to a minimum. Congrats on the 2k!
Agreed! Going on walks always makes me feel better! And I do the same with coffee, about half the time it doesn't sit right with me so I have to be careful. Thank you for watching!! :)
Congratulations on your subscriptions well deserved! There is a really cool botanical gardens in Spring Hill Florida you should check out sometime and do a vlog.
Thank you so much!! I will have to check that out for sure, thank you for the suggestion!
When you talk to the camera it brings out who you are and that is a beautiful woman love the videos you make. I love the botanical gardens in Delray Beach Florida.
Aww... thank you so much! You always are so supportive and kind, and I really appreciate it!! I will have to check out the botanical gardens in Delray Beach!
The chairs you sat in ....In NYS we call them Adirondacks chairs.
The #1 botanical garden in the world is The Chicago Botanical Garden ---- IT'S CALLING TO YOU !!!!
I will put it on my list! Thank you!!
I really enjoyed this walk in Florida nature. It was amazing to see all those baby alligators! The Downy woodpeckers are pretty small but can make a lot of noise-especially when they are pecking on bamboo. By the way, the grunting you heard is alligators. Congrats on you 2k mark, and I look forward to more videos!
I am so glad you enjoyed this video! Yeah the baby alligators really blew my mind, definitely the highlight of the trip! Jay thinks the grunting noise was alligators too! Thank you so much for watching!!
Congratulations!!
Thank you!!
Congratulations on 2k! We love the botanical gardens there as well. Esp at holiday time, the lights are spectacular. Heritage village is also a fun spot. We love history and architecture so its nice to go. Looking forward to your tour of it...:)
Thank you so much! Yeah it is a beautiful place, Jay was telling me it is really cool during the holidays as well! I can't wait to see it and also the heritage village! Thank you for watching! :)
congrats on 2k subs
Thank you!!
I hear the woodpecker.
@cristhegirl just wanted to say. I was with you the whole time. 🙂 👍
Woohoo! Thank you Terry!! :)
the woodpecker..is a Downy woodpecker(I'm not only a photographer and a cook, but a bird enthusiast!). I learned more about plants in your video that I actually knew!! Thank you! I will be buying a coffee for you soon! Again, great to finally meet you at Syfy Bartow!!!
And Congratulations on 2k subs!!
OH! A man of many hobbies! I like it haha! I actually would love to learn more about birds and do some legit amateur bird watching myself! Thank you so much for watching! :)
@@CristheGirl Look up the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive in Apopka FL(NW of Orlando) I drive it at least once a weekend. The wildlife is awesome(and it's free!)
Another great video ((HUGS))
Great video, and your nature walk and chat. Question, who’s watering your plants while you’re in Florida?
I actually have most of my plants here in FL with me and I literally just watered them today haha! Thank you for watching!
Great video Cris 💯
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!!
Hello
myop 28:53// FD: i sub to more than a couple (pun) channels that provide Insight on growing (plant based food, small animal) stuff. But they do not Travel from their Michigan or carolina (s,i think its south) locations.
since u Travel, from time to time, it would be only a matter of Supplies to Plant and Time to Plant. there must be land where u could just drop a seed or two, and or a budded one that has stock to show the sun.
u could show the tell of how to seed, to plant, to later see the progress of that same seedling (little star wars shout out) at a later time.
eg: u get seeds, and plan your route. prepare the seeds for where the growth is meant to take place then Supply Up with what u shall need to lay down the seeds/plant to grow and drive to each location, along the route, where u can drop them seeds. figure how and when u might plan to visit them to see if they have grown. plus track the weather of the same locations, providing a update in uploads, without having to have gone there.
eg: the weather at (location A) has been harsh but the plan is to let A do its best on its own, as if it had been a real seed that flew thru the air and landed ini the middle of no where.
it is not chaos theory it is random (house shout out to the company of so many books of how to grow a mind thru reading) and all if u want to do it.
give a hungry person a meal and they eat for a day. remind them of the Vast knowledge out there to find and seek and test, and instead of one meal for the body. the whole body may indeed find a much larger Goal or purpose. // some Faiths call for Fasts that carry on from sunset to the next morning without daylight savings lol
thanks for the upload word out of M State is they had a Goat baby prematurely by two months and they fear they will lose the baby, but they have made adjustments accordingly to the weather/temperature concerns God Bless and may the seed u lay grow Up (or down, depending upon its true Nature).
👍🏼🇨🇦
Not TMI about the coffee v tea! I avoid coffee for that reason as well. Although my office provides a yummy French vanilla flavored coffee for the Keurig machine, I allow myself one in the mornings! I love this place, did you say it’s in Largo? I believe that’s where my cousin lives. I’m in Ca so I haven’t seen her in a while! Time to go back!
Oh yeah, and I go through phases of not drinking much coffee at all because it can really wreck my health! I love tea as well though so it's ok! :) Yes, this garden is in Largo, which is a really beautiful area! I hope you can visit soon! Thank you so much for watching!
enjoyed the botanical park ... don't need to spend $$ ... just come on and talk to us and show us the free stuff we can take advantage of.. thanks
I'm glad I can share free/relatively cheap fun options for people! Thank you for watching!
I have done some crazy things in my life but molesting a gator never came to my mind lol
Is this in Largo?
Yep !
here is your comment below lol
Haha, thank you Robert!! :)
