28 Turtles and Counting!


 No, we didn't stop to count the turtles as we hiked Blue Run Park trail. We counted the ones we saw in our photos when we got home.


So what were they trying to tell us?


Were they there to warn us of impending danger?


Are were they watching us and laughing behind our back!


Because when we got to the bridge looking out at the Withlacoochee River, we were admiring the view...


Standing looking out at the water...


Watching some boats go by...


la la la la la!

And hubby said that dark cloud on the horizon looks threatening!

So we turned around and headed back to the Jeep. Did we make it all the way back before it rained? NO!

The wind blew and the 'bottom fell out'! And we got drenched! We were still 1 mile from the Jeep when it started to 'pour the rain'! But at least we didn't hear thunder or see lightening. And we had zip lock bags for our cameras. So it turned out to be an adventure story to tell. (and it was in the 70s so it wasn't a cold rain)


And it was a good day for ducks!


Wood ducks in the swamp.

Living it up!


And all's well that ends well!

Enjoy your week! Stay warm and dry!

Rainbows and Butterflies


We are in our summertime pattern here in Florida. It's hot and humid and we have little pop up showers come in the afternoons. They don't last long but they water the grass and plants so they are very welcome. I just wish they cooled things off too but that's a little 'too' much to ask!


I love looking out and seeing the rain falling in the distance.


Maybe it's on the way here!


Which way is it moving? heehee


And then there are the rainbows we frequently see.


This one was SO vibrant! A double rainbow!


Colorful....and spectacular!


I inserted the little butterfly in the photo at the beginning. I actually saw this Gulf Fritillary on one of my hikes.


Have you seen something beautiful this week? Look UP!!!
