Friday 14th
It's a nature area, primarily lakes and boggy areas. There's a reasonable amount of wildlife too apparently.
In fact one of the first things we saw were eggs near the road.
It has a long 6 mile drive through through the natural area.
This was the usual thing we saw - boggy area with lots of trees. However, Linda suddenly noticed something moving.
It was a small deer. As we watched, the parents arrived.
They fed for a few minutes then ran off into the distance.
We drove on and stopped at a picnic area to have some lunch. It seemed like a nice place, near the water with a nice breeze.
Half way through lunch we notice something swimming along the far back.
It was a small alligator, swimming along the edge of the river. Linda decided it was time to move!
Also...
So we finished our lunch elsewhere.
On the way back, we stopped off at a small nature area, saw this little fellow.
But not much else in that area - barring mosquitoes, of which there were plenty.
On the drive home we stopped off again at Publix to restock some stuff for home.
