Out near the verrrrrrrry end of the dirt road, in the Alligator River Preserve, where i think they hide the bodies that they never want found, i came upon this wondrous “flock” or “gaggle” or whatever you call a group of butterflies, happily feeding on the weeds. There were dozens of them with voracious appetites feasting on a whole row of tall wildflowers.
This was by far the prettiest sight in this rather remote landscape of dead Loblolly pines and marsh weeds. Well..i did see a Quail or a Bob White or something that had the idea that it could escape my car by RUNNING full speed ahead of it instead of getting out of the dirt road and into the weeds and shrubbery on the side. After burning up a good distance running in front of the car it finally dashed off into the weeds, with it’s heart skipping beats i am sure!
Other than this i did not see any alligators, but i am assured they are there...waiting....for a dinner delivery..........
