My running partner, Cathy, journeyed to the Boro for our Saturday run. I packed my camera in my fanny-pack (I know, I know. But how else am I gonna carry the camera?). Started out at the Great Swamp Sanctuary. There are two sections in the Sanctuary, and one of the entrances to the first section is about a block from The Manor. The first section winds about a mile through a wet swamp.
Cat-tails and beaver ponds. I put the camera away to get up a decent head of steam (for us, anyway) for the remainder of the first section.
We slowed a bit for the next section, which is about two miles through a "dry" swamp. This is Cathy by one of the six or seven creek-bed bridges that span the second section.
Little baby reptiles are everywhere. What is this?
Oh, a baby skink.
Coupla sticks on the trail?
Nope, baby snakes.
I'm lichen this!
Where's Waldo?
There he is!
Out of the Sanctuary; into the urban forest. This Crepe Myrtle is draped in the the finest Spanish Moss.
Cathy tells me this is a native poinsetta. Guess I could look it up. Nah, y'all'll tell me if that's inakrit.
Mimosa, anyone?
Kudzu.
A little present for JiIL.

I hook my camera (thank you very much Super D!) on my water belt, or on my camel back for the longer runs.
But I didn't have it today, darn! as it was so hot that we chose not to run past the Withalacoochie River. Nay, all four us plunged in and finished the last 9 miles soaking wet, it was worth it!
Sounds like fun, Ange (and you're welcome for the camera. It was Chase's idea).
Hey, I like your kind of running...with lots of nature stops. Looks like a pretty place to run.
Oh, and FYI: I got out the good cookie recipe for our Vermont brunch tomorrow. We'll have one for you!
I so owe you. I love that he's a multitasker. Talking, smoking and screwing all at the same time! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
And the run photos are nice, too.
And I could help him with his landscaping (those poor marigolds).
Oooh! Cookies! Bring 'em on, Star (that sounds like a GM official's edict: Bring them On-Star). Wait? I thought Vermont was last month.
I thought you'd like that, John.
A "dry swamp," isn't that a desert?

A dry joke, Chase? Yes, and, of course, I do know where's Waldo, FL. Lawtey, Lawtey, that's where they gives out the tickets.
Er, should have been this one. Sorry about that.
