Today we went to Estero Llano Grande to pick up some loaned books from May Snider before we leave. While we were there we did a short walkabout. There are very few birds left (relatively) - less every day, as they move out to their northern nesting grounds. I took a few pictures of what was still there - reptiles and butterflies.
After my pictures of non-descript dull brown 1/2" Skippers, here's is a change of pace, a big ol' flashy butterfly, a 5" Giant Swallowtail. Next, an Alligator guarding it's nest and a couple of courting Skinks.
Rebirth of life. Spring. Don't miss it, don't waste it; it only comes once a year.

Closing out a good time always leaves one with mixed feelings; at least you'll be moving north with the birds.
Without all the continual stimulation, daily outings here and there, I find myself yearning for "home" - plain old homesickness.
