We were walking the trail and saw this big dirt mount and we just knew it was a burrow den. It was close to the trail but you couldn't see the tortoise until you got closer to the den. I just wonder how many people walked right pass and didn't even know was there. Got a bit of wider shot to see how much was dug out.
Gopher Tortoise at Jacksonville Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.
They actually brought them back a few weeks ago but I was to busy to go look at them. If you can watch on a bigger screen you can see how fast they fly off on the wider shots. I just thought it was pretty cool. 🙂
Last time we only had 6 pallets here and they brought 9 this time. They will be here for the spring and some summer then off to Cali for the almond crops.
This is a little sunrise shot I took of my backyard and lean-to barn. I am an amature photographer mainly of birds and wildlife. I am here to share my photography and I hope you join me in my adventure.
I wonder if this Lil Lady Kestrel is same one that comes back every year. No matter, I still enjoy their visits.
