A section of the Florida Trail passes by within a block of my house. I often go running along this two mile section, but today opted to carry a camera instead. The morning was awesome, with the exception of numerous spider webs in the face. I don’t like that!
Several deer and a red-tailed hawk were seen. A barred owl wondered who cooked the food? And I got the Florida photo essay below.

Spiders like this golden orb weaver build their webs across the path- beware!
These funny-looking plant things are a type of lichen.
The beautyberries are ripe now. While edible, they are not very tasty.
Mills Creek had water today. Sometimes it’s almost dry.
A palmetto leaf shows a study in shadow and light.
The Snook Tree offers a nice place to rest.
These are the nicest mud bridges I have ever seen.
