Pix from the Park

With legs that didn't seem to have cinder blocks attached to them, I ditched the dogs, mounted the bike and took the Sony out for snapshots. I only rode for about a mile but it felt good and it was nice to escape "the kids" for awhile. I played with Honey and took her on a morning walk so she was sleeping and I keep the bike out back so she didn't see me go. She snuggles Buster for comfort when I am gone but she was misty eyed when I got back and I got lots of kisses.

A snakebird dries itself off in this picture. Enlarge by clicking to see the wonderful patterns in its feathers.

Sitting ducks-they have companionable groups.

Two Iguanas of the three I photographed. The other one was the more typical green variety. There are rumors in the park of Iguana hanky -panky going on. I wonder if the two above are culprits. They are not indigenous to Florida but discarded pets have found the setting salubrious and they have achieved pest status as they eat birds eggs. Nonetheless, I find them interesting and most residents of the park enjoy them too. The orange one is about a three-footer and there are others in the park larger.

I took Honey on an afternoon walk and paused at the Flynn's where they offered and I accepted a glass of a nice Cabernet. A pleasant day, not too hot, and again a nice cool evening.
