Finally got a chance to explore one of the Florida Trails near Crestview. I spent a leisurely 2 hours tramping through the woods. I think I cleared every spiderweb and tick from along the path. Scared a few skinks and a toad too. I only walked a short portion of the trail, and want to return soon when I can spend more time there.
I also threw in a sunset from earlier in the week. These have been spectacular lately.

Love that frog!
Is that a toad? It is phenomenal.
Gorgeous shots! That sunset is really amazing. Peace to you and yours on this Memorial Day.
Absolutely gorgeous shots – just love the frog!
Tara – fantastic shots, love the light on the berries, the perfect sunset and that toad is superb. I have tiny “tree frogs” that nestle in various places – in planted pots seems to be a fav, next to the trim by the front door, under the rim of a clay pot I was potting up today. I’ll grab my camera and go looking adn they all disappear :-(
I love, love, love, your pictures. I am in south Louisiana this month. Almost like your neck of the woods. I wish I had time for a detour to the panhandle. Enjoy.
first pic – is that an eagle nest?
cool shadows on the leaves and nice toad.
Not an eagle’s nest, but I think it is a falcon’s nest.
Amazing shots! Especially love the first one and the spiky frond shadows. Nice composition.
Thanks for sharing.
The shots are all so gorgeous!!
That sunset/sunrise (first pic) is absolutely AMAZING!
Ooooo – - – that top picture is definitely my fave! The “hazy” sunset over the water and through the trees – Just lovely.
the lines and shadows in that first shot are amazing!
Sunsets are always soothing. Loved that toad. :D
I almost missed the little toad…

The cammo toad is amazing. Love it.
I was thinking about you today – we’re cycling in the woods and seashore. Suddenly I remembered your photos…
