Time and Space...and a few birds & reptiles

Visiting family in Southwest Florida last week gave me some much-needed quiet time outside.  There are so many special places in this part of the world...so different from the ecosystems here at home, and I love the way Florida nature feels so quiet and so loud all at once.

Want to wander in the swamp with me a little?  Come on...I'll bring the sunscreen & bug spray...


This great blue heron was wading in Myakka River State Park. I loved his reflection.


Turtles sunbathing just off the Big Cypres...
