Besides the butterflies, here is the one critter I caught in action, very slow action:
On Friday, the 24th, I headed out to two more favs, River to Sea Preserve near Marine World and Washington Oaks Gardens State Park.
From shy forest flowers, to rabbits and a racoon, a Gopher Tortoise, a large Pileated woodpecker, osprey, bees, butterflies, and extravagant garden beauties, it was a great day for walking in Nature.
The weather is warming up in Florida. We will be experiencing August type temperatures this coming week so I may not be going out as much. I am slowly acclimatizing, but it’s important to keep hydrated and in the shade as much as possible. I’m not one for frying in the sunshine on the beach.
If you’re American, have a safe and pleasant holiday weekend for Memorial Day. My father, uncles, and several cousins all served in the military. They came home. Many didn’t.
In Joy,
Eliza Ayres
