Doctors appointment today so I made it into town. The tide was low so most of the waders were on the saltwater flats. This is the big freshwater pond near Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine. These Mallard ducklets are pretty independent, momma was around but not really herding them. The White Ibis is one of last year's chicks, the white plumage is coming on strong. The Double Crested Cormorants feed in this pond but they were napping this morning.
The flower is a Tradescantia, or Spiderwort.

I have spent many happy hours riding my Harley through those very mountains.
But not when it was snowing.

Thanks for the ping. Those are gorgeous photos, especially the cormorants.

Lots of Photo-ops!
The road to the entrance of the reservation is quite long and straight...great for biking until they put the speedbumps in.
