A good Florida scrub and a different kind of gopher

I had a third visit to Florida to see my wonderful friend Ely and her parents, and a few new friends including Connie-Fur (otherwise known as Connie Mae or Connie McTaggerty).

Dog walking (or in this case Corgi walking) is always a boon because it motivates one to walk in new terrain. There is beautiful natural scrub in the Hobe Sound area including preserves of Sand Pine Scrub at Sea Branch State Park and Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Here are a few pictures of our travels.

And this is a Gopher Tortoise's Nest at Sea Branch with resident Gopher Tortoise who apparently sometimes hangs out with an Indigo snake. Tortoise was in resident!
