Dream Job

After waking up late on Saturday, we decided to get up early on Sunday and grab a donut at the little donut shop by Turkey Creek. The donuts alone were fantastic, but since the rain had let up we decided to take the Turkey Creek 1.5 mile walk in the light drizzle. The Florida fall color was nice to see. Not much of it, but the trees that were changing were spectacular shades of red, and yellow. On our way back to the parking lot, we heard a leaf blower. Someone has to clean up the boardwalk when the leaves start to fall. This is the way to work. It seems as if this leaf ranger knew what he was doing. Traveling down the boardwalk on his segway blowing the leaves down to the ground. Thank you to all the people that keep our parks nice for us all to enjoy!

Yesterday we went to Turkey Creek Boardwalk, and walked the 1.5 round trip along the creek. The boardwalk has a canopy of scrub oaks, cedar, and pine trees, so the walk was shaded. It was a quiet stroll, as we listened to the birds, and the water running over the rocks, sand, and vegetation. With only a few jet planes to disturb the silence. Though that is know as the sound of freedom around here. It is a great sight to see a fighter jet whizzing over the tree tops, invigorating, and loud.

When we got home, I started to make dinner, when I saw a hawk hopping around in the back yard! M grabbed the camera and commenced clicking. As he was walking toward the magnificent hawk, just next to his feet he found a small bird, paralyzed with fear. The bird did not want to fly away and risk the wrath of the hawk. It laid perfectly still until the hawk moved on.

If I were a bird I would not have moved either! What a wonderful show, right outside our window!
