Abandoned, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Weird thing to find a rake abandoned alongside the lake, until you realize that this park is maintained by a dedicate band of community volunteers. Then, you simply wonder what made him drop it and run…
World inverted, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Running in Lakes Regional park (Fort Myers, Florida) this morning, the world suddenly turned upside down!
Here’s a very cool thing – Ocean’s Reach on Sanibel Island has set up an osprey-cam! Mama Osprey laid three eggs just around Christmas. She’s been sitting on them ever since, but I just got to see the eggs – guess mama’s got to have a break sometime. Her mate is now hovering over them, watching the skies for her return. I can’t wait to see the hatchlings – this is going to be...
Pathet-o-meter, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. If there was any doubt about how early I headed out to run this morning, then here’s the definitive indicator – it was so early, the moonflowers had not yet closed up! How pathetic is that? ROFL! There are banks of moonflowers to be found here and there throughout the park. I wonder if that means there would be lunar moths there at night?
Lost and lonely in Lakes Park, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. I am always finding lost things on my runs – and I seem to specialize in mystery shoes!

It was not there when I arrived – or, maybe it was and I just didn’t notice because it was still o’dark-thirty Hope the tiny-footed owner returns for it.
Screaming (from the) trees, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. I passed this fellow twice during my run in Lakes Park this morning, and both times he screamed his head off at me. I am embarassed to say that I could not ID him by sight because I wasn’t wearing my glasses – but his screaming gave him away as an osprey.
Spooked each other in Lakes Park, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Came trundling up the bridge on my morning run, and who do you suppose swooped in low before me? He came to rest on the rail and allowed me to take his photo. He kept a watchful eye on me as I thanked him and passed. The stop was worth ruining my time this morning (dipping down into the low 14:xx minute mile...
Lighthouse beach transformed, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. What a different beach from last week! I’ve come to catch a glimpse of the full harvest moon when it rises. There must have been some storm that washed this beach clean immediately after the dunes. The blowing wind creates sandy waves and makes y beer bottle sing. I fully expect a tumbleweed to roll by.
