Yucca in my front yard nearing its final days. Only noticed it the other day and kept forgetting to get a shot of it.

Haven't seen a gator in a while so it was really great to see George was out yesterday.

Here's a little video (not mine) of George from last year, so you can see how large he really is. After the first couple of minutes the guy must have thought he shut off record because all you see is the ground and hear them talking. I didn't make it past 3 minutes.

We pedal through Gov. Lawton Chiles Memorial Park often. Yesterday was the first time we stopped and had our picnic lunch there.

Under the pavilion.

Don't know how long this palm has been like this, but it's starting to make an upward turn.

As mentioned in post 1277, we got caught in a rain squall on Independence Day and ducked in to a shopping center. When the rain let up enough for us to continue our pedal home, I noticed these statues. Didn't take any shots that day since I had already packed away the camera in its weatherproof bag and it was still raining slightly.

The shopping center is across the street from the entrance to Morikami. This is the shelter behind the BIWA Pavilion.

Highly cropped Zebra Longwing butterfly. I miss my 300mm which is on my D5100 at the repair place (still).

Chris spotted this Black Vulture with a wing tag. Tried looking for a site to report it, but only found sites for Turkey Vulture reporting. E-mailed Cornell Institute of Ornithology and got a message on vacation until 7/15.

Spotted these two young ladies from FAU (Florida Atlantic University) Wednesday. They were practicing for an instagram contest.

WOW, you captured the girls beautifully in action. Love the shots a lot.

Thanks Michael. They liked the shots also, I sent them via e-mail.

I'm still learning to use the D7100 and think I'm finally figuring out some of the buttons, not all of them.

Had trouble keeping up this this Gulf Fritillary. Not sure why it kept landing on the road, but something caught its fancy.

While we were picnicking in the park, Chris said isn't that Tanya (one of the bar managers at Bru's)? Turns out it was, she's in purple.
