A Dreamy Hike at Halpata Tastanaki Preserve


We live in the Sunshine State so most of the time when we hike the sun is bright! And that's one of the things we love about living here. 


But last weekend, we had a overcast day and cool temps and set off to hike farther on the Halpata Tastanaki Preserve trail at the Pruitt Trailhead. 


It was interesting when I viewed my photos at home. 


Since the sun wasn't washing out the colors, the fields took on a dreamy look.


Still lots of green here at this time of year and hundreds of wildflowers.


I need to try to ID these purple flowers!


 We have hiked this trail many times but it was neat to see something 'new' when we got down the trail.


And just where we decided to turn around, we saw a Forest Ranger up ahead. He came to us and we had a nice chat about what wildlife we had seen. He had photos of a Wild Boar and fox squirrel and 3 deer that were running so fast that all three had their feet off the ground. Amazing!


You just never know what you'll see when you get out into the wilderness. 


What's the weather like where you live?


I'm joining Angie for Mosaic Monday HERE .
