Macro shot I took of a paper wasp on a nest that had been built underneath the lid to my grill. It was a chilly day for Florida at only 72° F and they were very inactive and willing to pose. Needless to say the nest was then removed to allow the grilling to proceed.
The sun rising over the Atlantic on the Treasure Coast of Florida in Vero Beach. The silhouette of the tattered "Boiler Flag" can be seen on the right.

Lucie is a Loggerhead Sea Turtle that was found on the beach at Ft. Pierce Inlet State Park. She was very lethargic and refused to swim off when returned to the water.
She was taken to the Brevard Zoo for rehabilitation and medical attention. She was suffering from a very heavy load of barnacles and algae on her shell and flippers. She was also under weight at 170 lbs. She reached a weight of 191 lbs. and was treated for parasites. Today she was released back into the wild at Round Island Park near Vero Beach.
While walking in the Riverside Park I noticed that the sky was getting ready for a magnificent sunset. I walked over the newly built fishing dock. There I set up for what was going to prove to be a very gorgeous sunset evening. This sky did not disappoint!

The African Red Headed Agama is an invasive species in Florida. Fortunately they do not carry disease, and are not venomous. The female is smaller and has a red head and has orangish red blotches on the side of the body. These were first spotted on the Treasure Coast in Stuart in 2003. I first saw them in Indian River County in 2021. Global warming will ensure that they continue to expand their range northward up the peninsula.
