Trail Updates - A week later

  

Even though I hike some of the same trails from week to week, things are constantly changing.

This summer, I've had to stick to some of the trails that provide shade.

And it's nice to walk on the paved trails where there are fewer pesky bugs. I prefer those that take me deep into the forest.

But even though it's hot and humid here in Florida, I still like to get out. 

Loggerhead Shrike

After I stay inside for a day or two, I'm looking out the window to see if there is any sign of a breeze!

White-tailed Deer

This deer was standing so still, I'm surprised I saw it!

These are some of the things I've seen on my hikes this week.

And for changes?

A lot of you commented that this looked like a Snowy Owl.

And it looks even more like an Owl this week. (It's actually a web of caterpillars, a very LARGE web!)

And the Lion's Ear wildflower I showed a week or so ago, is starting to dry and droop.

I can report that my Jeep is even dirtier and dustier now too. But that just makes it look better I think!
