Fairytale Forest

 
Let's walk on Scrub Jay Way today!


It's a trail that I take often and one I named myself. 

And indeed I DID see Florida Scrub-Jays on this hike but they flew past and when a bird flew out of the scrub it was this very handsome Mockingbird.


I also saw the elusive Rufous-sided Towhee and a Dove.

But lets get back to the fairytale part of this hike.


Yes, it's this beautiful 8 point buck in the trail ahead of me.

I was almost back to the Jeep when I saw something BIG in the trail ahead.


So I stopped and zoomed in to see what it was.

I felt honored to see this regal White-tailed deer.


And feel thankful to have walked at a slow pace that particular day, so slow that he wasn't scared away until I decided to start toward him.


And off he leaped into the scrub.

This is a hike to be remembered!


Another wonderful adventure on the Florida trails!


On to the next!
