Now to the Beach, this are was cleared of all plants a couple of years ago to get rid of all the non native plants and is now returning to a native Florida coastal habitat .
The low palm like plants are Saw Palmetto, and take a word from the wish never go walking among them. First there is a reason they have the name of Saw, as the edges of the leaves will cut you up. AND second rattlesnakes love this kind of habitat!!!!
Keep a sharp look out and you may see some of the Right whales,
Now sometimes you will find something in your pictures that you did not see the first time. I was taking this picture of the rocks that are found along this stretch of beach and they are a natural out crop. But I miss seeing at the time some thing interesting and important.
See the double tracks in the sand that look like 2 rows of dashes. Notice how it changes direction when it comes to a small rock. I believe that this is the track of a sea turtle who had come in to lay eggs. The vehicle tracks also enforce this as no vehicles except park ones are allowed on this beach area and there is a nightly patrol for sea turtles nesting.
Now one last picture of our beach for those of you who are inland.
