Felburn Park and the 'flying fish'!

 
When we drove to the Gulf Coast last week, we took our picnic lunch to Felburn Park. More info HERE.


It's a state park and one of our favorites here in Florida. 

And after we ate, we walked 
the trail to Phil's Lake.


 Then we spent some time looking out at the Cross Florida barge canal.

It was too hot to be out for very long. It was still in the 80s but the humidity was very high and there wasn't much of a breeze. No problem with bugs or flies here thankfully!


I'm generally a happy person and it's not unusual for me to laugh out loud.


And I had a lot to laugh about!


The Striped Mullet or "jumping mullet" were putting on a show.


More info HERE!


Hey! I think I see one over there!


And there's TWO!


It was funny to see them jump out of the water but it was just as funny to try to photograph them.


When you saw one jump, it was too late to focus in and take a shot.


So all of our photos were lucky shots!


We saw lots of beautiful wildflowers 


and this amazing Mississippi Kite!

And then we saw each other too. 
But don't ZOOM in so much! 
Give me a minute to 'strike a pose' next time!
