We've been trying to change our routine. Getting up and out early in the morning so as to enjoy the cooler weather while it lasts (which is usually until 8:30 or 9:00 a.m.). Yes, it is actually still cool here in the morning and evening. Yes, it is all in perspective. Today was an especially nice weather day and due to cloud cover we managed to stay out until 11:00 a.m. without even getting hot! And then the sun came out and we created our own breeze by motoring on home. Before we overheated we rode west to Possum Long Audubon and then back east to the Intracoastal where we observed and played with the creatures on the rocks and watched the pelicans and terns feeding.
Without further adieu... here's some photos and words about photos.
Before we could even get the cover off of Darlene's bicycle we had already traveled further than we could imagine by spotting Mylocerus undecimpustulatus, a.k.a. Sri Lanka Weevil, a.k.a. Yellow-headed Ravenous Weevil.
Due to the overcast skies things were a bit mosquito'ish at Possum Long but beggars cannot be choosers... at least we did not get overheated.
Before we had even parked the bikes the mushroom spotting had begun with this cluster of ink caps.
Mushroom - Flower
Aechmea fasciata a.k.a. silver vase bromeliad was blooming.
Snails were slithering.
An osprey watched over us.
It was a good day. And we haven't even gotten to the by the water stuff yet!
