Dunedin, Florida: Garden Snakes In The Boxwood Hedge

This friendly little face was enjoying the sun from the top of my boxwood hedge one day. As I like snakes, I took it as a good sign, and was happy that he would call my place his home. Snakes do a lot of good, and this little guy is about as harmless as you can get.

What about you, out there, any snake lovers out there?

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Nature Trail 3

Now... please, please, please, don't go all Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory on me, OKAY?!?! We've already lost one hiker who could not resist tasting the pretty white berries. But know this: There are no Oompa-Loompas here to save you! Alright now, ready to move on then? Good.

When you see scrub areas like this one, enjoy them sensibly. We are quite safe on the path, for the most part, so please stay on the path. When you go off the trail, you intrude into the area that is preserved for the wildlife here. You may be tempted to strike out into the scrub for a closer look at an armadillo, but you may also end up with a way-too-close look at a rattlesnake. Yes, they do live out here on the island. So let's respect their space, and I assure you, they will respect ours.
