Summertime hiking in Florida? I wouldn't recommend it!
I can't stay in the house all the time so I've gotten out some.
But the hikes are fewer and shorter and earlier!
The vegetation loves the heat and pop up showers we have in the afternoons but it makes it a challenge to get good photos.
The Black-crowned Night Heron was a good sighting though.
And this Great Blue Heron is trying to beat the heat under a tree with Spanish moss. (and you know I always imagine what my critters are saying)
You know if you climb up here you'll sink us.
See what I mean.....your end is already sinking!
Hmmmph!!!
Are you still here?
The Rainbow River is very beautiful and definitely 'old Florida'.
I zoomed in to see this house on the river.
Oh, look! Here comes a river boat motoring down at a leisurely speed.
Life is going at a slower speed. So what can you do?
Oh, let's see....put on long sleeves and go out in the heat and pick blackberries at Halpata Tastanaki Preserve?
There are a few wild blueberry bushes in the berry patch too.
And it's not too hot to cook in the oven for an hour to make a cobbler, is it?
Life is good! Even in the heat of summer!
Stay cool and safe this week and enjoy each day!
