We've finally had some cooler nights here in the sunny south and it felt so good to be out in the crisp dry air after a long humid summer. As always, if you want to take a closer look, please click on the individual images.......

| The suspension canopy walk is a major feature of this park. It is 25 feet off the ground and extends through the tree tops for 100 feet. |
 |
| Here we are at the terminus of the canopy walk getting ready to climb an additional 50 feet to the top of the tower! |
 |

| Rural beauty |
 |
| A bit of wetland and oak hammock |
 |
| And a lovely, sunlit clearing..... |
 |
| Among the many kinds of wildlife that live in or near the park, wild boars root around in the sand looking for supper. Here's a snap of wild boar tracks. We didn't see any close up on this trip, but we have before. They are fairly scary critters! |

| We found a leaning palm tree trunk to play on! It was a wild horse, a circus high wire and we also pretended to be monkeys ;-0 (see next shot) |
 |
| And here's the nana monkey!! |

| For those of you who know, wild turkeys are very shy. We were quite fortunate to see a flock of eight. Mostly hens, and two youngsters who looked about half-size - maybe from a spring hatch? |
