Yesterday was our 41st wedding anniversary. We drove north 1.5 hours to one of our favorite restaurants and enjoyed garlic clams steamed in Guiness, then frog legs, gator bites, fish and mosquito chips. Oops, should be mesquite chips. From there, we headed south. I've been wanting to go to the Jupiter Lighthouse and the nature preserve across the road from the lighthouse. On the way, we passed the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge (Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge). A little further down, we saw an Osprey nest and decided to go back to the refuge. Now, we live in a very flat area in FL, so we weren't prepared for the rolling hills of Hobe Sound. I meant to bring the 18-200mm or the 55-300mm along since we drove, but I forgot. The Tamzooka doesn't really show the ups and downs of the trial, but trust me, they were there.

This is the Osprey Nest. Didn't see any activity. We were told at the Nature Center the nest was occupied by Great Horned Owls. All we saw were crows.

Part of the trail brought us to the Indian River Lagoon.

This guy didn't catch anything and said he wouldn't eat anything from there if he did.

We do a lot of bike riding and a lot of walking, but these steps winded us.

I told you it was hilly (at least for us).

Next stop was the Jupiter Lighthouse. We didn't climb, so we didn't have access to the grounds. It was late in the day and I wasn't sure my knee was ready to climb 105 steps up and 105 steps down.
