I am 'drip dry' after all. One of Rachel Carson's favorite times to walk.

If you had been prepared, you know it wouldn't have rained:) We are slow learners at times:) But it does look like a great hike despite the rain. I love those little flowers.

But omg that was a very fun read :-) Anyone can hike that trail when it's dry...... The camera was a potential issue so I am glad that shelter was there for David to keep it dry - cute pics of the two of you. Love Sunday's Fringe tree and Monday's little lilys, both are so dainty for such a heavy jungle. Even at expanded size I could barely see the gator in the reflection, you must have great eyes or he was making some noise!

Of course, I cannot help recalling my mother telling me, when I returned from a hike thru our farm fields soaked to the skin, that some people are not smart enough to get out of the rain.
