It's hot. It's August. It's Florida!
But let's tie the jeep to the hitching post at the 49th Ave trailhead and get out on the trails.
I chose a morning after a rain and the woods were still dripping wet and it felt cooler.
Or less hot!
And I saw all kinds of pretty birds.
Isn't this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher beautiful?
And I think this was a young one flying alongside the parent.
I was pleased to get them both in the photo.
I saw lots of wildflowers and some deer grazing.
Look at that tongue! He was eating something tasty!
A Black-and-white Warbler, Zebra Swallowtail and a Flicker.
A nice day to get out early and enjoy the beauty of nature.
And it will cool off one day soon. Right?
