Coreopsis lanceolata – Mullet Lake Park – February 2016

“I believe in the uncommon, the unusual and unlikely, even the miraculous.   I believe in nearly all things except impossibilities. That I can’t fathom. ” – Richelle E. Goodrich

I don’t like it when the word common is used in the descriptor for something this beautiful.

tilansia (1 of 1)
Fern – Mullet Lake Park – February 2016

“Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.” – Carl von Clausewitz

I’m trying to catalog the flora and fauna of Mullet Lake Park and came across this guy – is it a shoestring fern or a wild pine? I will have to wait until it flowers to tell for sure. In either case it is an epiphyte  living on this palm tree.

Warbler – Mullet Lake Park – February 2016

“I believe that we do not know anything for certain, but everything probably.” – Christian Huygens

I think the above bird is a palm warbler. But cannot do a precise id. Hence the quote.
