A new walk in the woods

My goodness it seems I haven't been on this little blog for ages. But after a delightful walk in the woods today and many, many photos I just had to share. Friends told me about this little piece of paradise and after twice being thwarted by "Trail Closed" signs and then on another occasion by rain. Today I made it.

Not being put off by the threat of alligators, today I was successful in my quest for a new walk in the woods. 
A 2.75 mile trail past salt marshes, through the woods, over sand dunes and then arriving at the top of a dune to view a sea of saw palmetto. 

It was wonderful. just wonderful. I can't wait to do this again.
