The sun was trying to peak out when I went for a walk just after sunrise at the Safety Harbor Waterfront in Mid-October.
It had gotten even cloudier when I stopped by nearby Philippe Park to walk the stairs.
As I was heading for the stairs I caught a pair of little blue herons chasing each other. I’m not sure if they were fighting or flirting since they flew off together.
A night heron sits in the oyster bed.
A few days later I was walking at the Dunedin marina.
The water was low and clear along the seawall and I could see several horseshoe crabs along the rocks. I don’t remember seeing them here before.
I was walking through a neighborhood near the marina and noticed this cactus that was growing on a palm tree was blooming. I did some digging and found out it was dragon fruit. I’ve never eaten it but I see it at the grocery store. The plant was loaded with it. I hope the owner ate all of them.
A few days later and I was at the Dunedin causeway.
I was getting to the bottom of the bridge and noticed this great egret trying to eat a fish. There were several guys fishing along the seawall so I’m not sure if he stole it from them.
I noticed a laughing gull with a missing foot. I’ve seen him several times (at least I think it’s the same one).
