It is less than a month to go before we begin the Via Portuguesa, and the training continues. Today we were lucky to see many plants and wildlife. All in a day's training for the Camino!
White wild indigo is abundant at this time of year.
Red buckeye
Lady lupine
Florida cooter or penninsula cooter (they intergrade hereabouts)--an aquatic turtle far from open water. This female is excavating a nest cavity in preparation for egg-laying. We would never have gotten this close to her if she weren't preoccupied with nesting.
More wary than the nesting cooter, this gopher tortoise didn't like the looks of us, and was about to retreat into his burrow.
Our final treat was a docile rough green snake who didn't mind being photographed.
