(OR, one of the reasons, why i don't swim in florida's lakes!)
due to cable/modem/router problems (which are fixed!!), work, chores...and, well...due to LIFE...
and the fact that i've been addicted to the books i'm reading lately...
and the fact that i've been addicted to the books i'm reading lately...
this is the first chance i've had to sit and get online.
the days are slipping by...these pictures are from LAST weekend, when we rode across town to
La Chua Trail, part of Paynes Prairie State Park. this part of the park is known as Alachua Sink,
which includes the deepest & largest sinkholes in the park.
the air was still a little cool...and many gators were out soaking up the sun!
ENJOY the alligators and assorted birds!!
just remember...stay on the trail!!
and watch where you step because this park also has wild spanish horses
(which i posted pictures of in the past), bison, and feral hogs.
SO there is a scattering of humongous piles of POOP!
