Ahhhhhh, Spring
Southern Chorus Frog, once abundant but now seemingly less so. Well, it was not really spring but 22 February 2024 was a fairly decent northcentral Florida day.

Barbour’s Map Turtle
Young adult Barbour’s Map Turtle Back around 1960-something or the other, Patti and I used to take roadtrips much more frequently than we do today.

The Kingsnakes of Florida
