Sunday afternoon in Florida found us under the warm spring sun on a boardwalk in a nature preserve, Green Cay. Sharing the walk with us were @meno and @ankapolo and a couple of their friends.
This post is also my first try with a dtube video, kind of wanted to see how that process worked...
The park contains about a mile of winding pathway over wetlands full of birds and turtles and gators.
The water level is lower than I've ever seen it; it's been remarkably dry in South Florida for a while now. I feared it might keep the beasts away and hiding, but no. We saw the expected variety of birds, a raccoon (during the day, odd!), furry rats, and a massive gator.
The gator swam right underneath us on the boardwalk, a massive bulwark of silent flesh. Poor guy had a dislocated jaw, as you can see by the white visible rim of his lower jaw. He seemed fine with it, and could probably still kick my ass if he wanted to.
And this albino pigeon
Regular pigeon suddenly struts in and head-bob-walks the albino away from us. I think regular pigeon was thinking there was food to be had. I was glad to disappoint him.
