I drove into Chesnut Park on a recent Saturday morning and parked. As I got out of my car I saw some four legged critters wandering around the parking lot. I snapped the above and they all looked at me for a second. Then back to feeding they went. I headed out for the trails. It’s amazing what you see hanging around the parking lot at 8am in the morning, before the joggers and the dog walkers.

I found Winkie right away on the boardwalk. I haven’t seen him in months. I remembered I had some peanuts in my backpack so I pulled out a few for him. I only feed one eyed critters. Then his two-eyed friend showed up and stole a nut so I left. One minute later and I would have been surrounded by 50 squirrels.

Big ole critter taking a sun nap. I don’t see alligators too often at this park. He was laying in front of the parking lot.
