New Park

Yesterday we went down in Hillsborough County to a new to us park. Its the Upper Tampa Bay Park This park is only about 25 miles from our place so it didn't take very much time. That is if there wasn't so much traffic.
The first trail was the Eagle Trail,around 1 mile total length. This wasn't a challeng for us so we took another trail where the trail was wide and the grass was mowed so it made a good walking place. Its a good thing,as we were walking we came upon a snake lying out in front of us,by the time I got my camera turned on ready to take a photo it slithered away.

We then got in the car,drove down aways to another trail and walked it. Where we had parked the car was a Butterfly Garden with a few flowers growing.

On the way back we stopped in and did some more walking at John Chesnut park because we only had 4 1/2 miles and we needed more walking. We saw this Anghingh bird drying its wings. We noticed how straight the lines were with the white on black feathers. It looked as though it was painted on,beautiful.
