Fun at the Beach


This weekend Stan, Isaiah, and I took a trip to Lover's Key. While entering the park there were many signs informing the guests that this national park was voted the best beach in the United States going on two years now. There were bulliten boards with information about the plants and animals you will be able to see in the park. The weather was very hot, probably about 97, and the water was beautiful and warm but cold enough to cool us off from the unforgiving sun. We didn't stay too long but i had time to take pictures. When we first pulled in to the parking lot there was a red bird lookin at its self through a mirror of a truck. It was very fascinated with the mirror because it repeditativley kept trying to fly into the mirror to get to itself, lol.

While at the beach we took a walk, played in the sand, swam, and had a picnic. We saw fish, a few species of birds, and found a living sand dollar while in the water. We got to get right next to the Heron while taking a walk, it didn't seem threatened by the people as long as you didn't get too close. In the near distance we were able to see a few nest which I guess were Osprey nests. There were also Mangorves, Panic Grass, Palm Trees, and Sea Oxeye. It didn't take long before Isaiah was all played out and ready for another nap.
