Gator

 

Don't worry.  He's not especially big.  A big zoom lens and a bit of cropping make him look more fierce than he is.  Though I still did not get close . . . 

Yellow Dragonfly

While I was (im)patiently waiting for yesterday's great blue heron to do something interesting, several dragonflies swirled nearby.  I was able to catch this yellow dragonfly as it paused on a stick, but the black and red dragonflies were too quick for me.  There is always another day . . .

Great Blue Herons Have Tongues

 I watched for an hour but the darned bird never went fishing or did anything interesting.

But I did learn that great blue herons yawn.  And they pant.  And they have long, sharp, pointed tongues.

Back in Florida

Four ducks surrounded an osprey.  

He got uncomfortable and flew away. 

VOTE!

Someone on Peaceable Hill Road in Ridgefield has an accurate but disturbing message.

But I am optimistic that American voters will end our four year Trumpian nightmare and elect Joe Biden.

Savannah

 

At the end of my second day driving south, I ended up in Savannah, Georgia, on Halloween.

Savannah is always interesting and colorful.

Hotel Roanoke

I stayed at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia, the first night on my drive to Florida.  I like classy places.
