NATURE IN DECEMBER

Viewing and walking through nature is a favorite past time of mine.  I venture out to the Circle B Preserve several times during our winters, in Florida.  What used to be a large ranch, is now a wildlife preserve. Walking through the preserve is a different experience each time.  Depending on the time of day, the month, the migrations, feeding times and seasons. Stepping out of the car and onto the path immediately creates a calming, relaxed mood for me.  The birds are my friends, the animals are a bonus!  
                        Such a Good Thing...

              I went in the other direction-fast!


           

On most occasions we see dozens of vultures
on "Buzzard Beach" - this day only a few.

Standing very still, waiting for prey to pass through the water.
