It's not exactly Fall weather here in Florida but there is a change in the air. The temps are 'less hot' and it's a little drier. I even had a breeze on one of my hikes this week!
So it's time! (message at the end)
I've had some really fun sightings this week.
As much as I love just being out in nature, it sure makes it better when I see something out of the ordinary.
Don't you love this turtle?
He was at Halpata Tastanaki Preserve at the Pruitt trailhead.
I think it's a box turtle. It was about 6 or 7 inches long and had the most intricate markings on it's shell.
I actually talked to it. The sun had come out and it was getting HOT so I told it to wait up and let me get in the shade of the tree to take some pics.
How nice to have a turtle that will wait on you! lol
This deer was eating tender leaves on the plants near the trail and it stopped to look at me.
It didn't really talk to me but I used my imagination.
I don't often get a good photo of a Swallow in flight either but this one was right over my head.

And for my message....I'm going to step away from the computer for a couple of weeks. I have things I need to do and places I want to go. Hopefully I'll get more 'mud on the tars' and visit some trails I haven't been to in awhile.
I'll take lots of photos and have some stories to share when I get back.
Have some FUN while I'm gone and get out in nature when you can!
See you later alligator! Be back in a bit!
Adventure Awaits! 🚗
