A flock of common gull were dive-bombing minnows swimming just below the water surface. St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. #stmarksrefuge

I've spent the last two mornings at the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. As I was leaving today, a family of deer crossed the road directly in front of me. It appeared to be a doe and three younger deer following close behind. #stmarkswildliferefuge

I seem to recall days in Florida when we had a broad range of leaf colors in the fall. The great thing yesterday in not being in a rush was sitting back, being present, simply observing the trees and taking in the colors and listening to the rustling of those leaves at The Lodge at Wakulla Springs.

Three ibises perched in a tree at @lodgeatwakullasprings.

I believe this is a red-shoulder hawk. He seemed to be checking out multiple opportunities for dinner at The Lodge at Wakulla Springs.

Ibis caught a crawdad just as our boat floated by. He ducked down behind the trees and tore into the yummy crustacean. The Lodge at Wakulla Springs.
