While the flowers are hidden in the fog, you can really see the spider webs.
The fog was pretty thick during my trip to Circle B Bar Reserve in late December. It usually burns off by 10 am but this particular morning it was still around when I left at noon.
At least you can still spot the gators on the trail.
How cheap was gas when this store was open in 1915?
The oldest structure in Pinellas County, it was built in 1852 by Captain James McMullen near Clearwater. I guess they didn’t have to worry about vacuuming.
My clothes would never get washed if I had to do this.
Sign over the fire station. It was really just a garage that housed a truck.
The good old days.
Power and water in the backyard.
The grocery store in your backyard.
Built in 1878, this was a temporary one room shelter that survived over 100 years.
On the wall just inside of the temporary bedroom was the above picture showing it as it originally stood before it was moved to Heritage Village in 1978.
A few more shots of history from my walk through Heritage Village in Largo in mid-December.
What is this tricolored heron looking at?
Turkey vulture upclose. They were everywhere at the park.
The trail was full of these queen anne’s lace plants.
The marsh was full of these purple plants. Not sure what they are.
Only a few butterflies out this morning.
A soft shell turtle heading back into the reeds. He was pretty big.
The usual but this was the only one I saw this morning.
A perfect day at Circle B Bar Reserve.
I made my last trip to Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland in mid-May until late fall. It was a beautiful cool morning so the walk was great. But not a lot of animals. No sign of bobcats, otters, snakes and very few birds. I didn’t get to see either sandhill crane family although I know they are there somewhere. It’s that time of the year when babies are grown up, winter ducks and birds are gone and it going to be too hot to be inland. The trail was extremely overgrown already so it’s hard to see down into the marshes. I could hear the alligators bellowing really loud right off the trail but I couldn’t see them. It was a little creepy. Soon it will be time to head to the beach to look for shorebirds.
