Lemon Bluff

ABOVE: The blogger on a little spit of land in the St. Johns River near Lemon Bluff. It was hot this evening. 90 F at 5:00 pm when this photograph was made. I was in search of the elusive Blazing Star (Liatris pauciflora) which should be in bloom. Blazing Star is a very specialized plant with a small range. Their habitat is largely paved over in Central Florida.



ABOVE and BELOW: I'm not one to use poetic collective nouns in everyday speech -- but its fun to remark here -- that this was a murder of crows. . . thousands of crows moving across the tree tops in the islands of the St. Johns River.
