Today we headed to Florida's largest state park, just southeast of Sarasota. Our goal was to see alligators, and you can take a look at the movie below to see how much luck we had in that department...
At least according to the signs that abound in the park, alligators do live here...
The old oaks with the Spanish moss hanging like beards from the branches are beautiful and stately (even though it is not really a moss and not really Spanish, it is a flowering plant...)
A enormous (about the size of an adult's palm) Golden silk orb weaver (also commonly called "Banana Spider" in its web... It is venomous, but its neuro toxin (similar to that of the black widow) is not deadly for humans, and will most likely" just" cause pain for 24 hours...
This state park has an abundance of vultures, mainly black vultures and turkey vultures (these are black vultures)...
