Out on the Prairie

When I think of Florida I think beaches, sunshine, humidity. I don't think prairies. Kristina took us on a walk along La Chua Trail in Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. Prairies in Florida? Who knew?

I love the spanish moss hanging from this tree.

This is Lake Wauberg. Isn't it beautiful?

Take a closer look. There were quite a few gators out and about.

I don't know what kind of birds these are, but they blended in with the marsh so well I almost missed them. 

I almost missed this guy too.

I love the depth of field in this shot. It was completely by accident. Whenever I try to do this on purpose it never comes out. I hope to figure it out one day.

I've seen so few wild turkeys in my life. I'm always surprised at how small they are. Not like Thanksgiving turkeys at all.
