Sawgrass Lake Park 10-16-14

Location: Sawgrass Lake Park
 It was nice and breezy.  Cloud coverage around 55%. Temperature was 79 F. The park was 50% managed.  The bathrooms were VERY clean considering that it was a park bathroom and the doors where kept open.  Gold star to them on that.  They had signs up all over the place that said "DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS" I guess they don't want people being attacked by squirrels... We learned that a gun range was near the park and the shell casings would end up in the water and poison it thus killing the tree and plant life around.  The park workers ended up planting Bald Cypress to make up for the other trees that were lost. 

                            Some nice baby Gators... Some lovely lady said she saw a 8ft one.
                                                           I'm glad I did not see that one.

                                           I shall call him fluffy and he shall be mine.

                                       It looks like they are doing some work around the park.

                             Here we have a Soft Shelled Turtle who liked to play hide-&-seek.

                                 Another one playing hide-&-seek but this one is a Gopher Tortoise.
                                 You can see just a little bit of him but please don't ever stick your
                                 hand in the hole because you never know if a Rattlesnake has taken 
                                  over the home of the Gopher Tortoise.   Brittany P.
