That quote is a reminder to me!!
It’s dragonfly season in Central Florida – they are beautiful creatures. However, I feel like the a cartoon character with a butterfly net as I chase the dragon flies around the path with my camera.

The sand hill cranes were traveling. I later saw them walking down the middle of the road – outside the park about a mile or two from where I first spotted them. Sand hill cranes concern me – they do not seem to have an awareness of cars. I’ve encountered them on roads several times, seemingly unconcerned with the cars.

The alligators were very active Sunday morning. A count was done recently and the determined there are 1700+ alligators in the park. That works out to be a little over 1 per acre. Yikes!

This fellow was cooperative yesterday.
Found a new spot. Lake Monroe Wildlife Management Area, part of the St Johns River system, this primitive park is along the eastern edge of Lake Monroe. It was a very wet hike, swampy, but a nice old oak forest and pine upland area. While the birds were noisy they were well hidden. Dragon flies were epic with some nice flowers about.
I’d have to guess I was the first on the trail for a while, first hike where I actually soldiered through the swamp, getting quite wet in the process. Well worth it – I was able to engage my “living in old Florida” fantasy – it was excellent – I will be back.
