Last weekend my dad suggested a walk to Circle B. I didn’t have my good camera with me, but it was fun to use my iPhone for landscapes. It was a cooler afternoon and the sun was starting to think about setting, so the light was gorgeous as we approached Lake Hancock.

Here’s a challenge – see if you can spot the two birds in this post!

The sky was painted in interesting clouds and the lake was a bright blue. Overhead we heard the roar of a seaplane as it practiced taking off and landing on the water. We were sad the hurricane damage from last year’s encounter with Milton, but they did a really good job of cleaning up the trail. It was also wider with dirt covering all the tree roots that used to trip me. Many pleasant people said hello and made sure to show us all the gators.

The moon started to rise, and the reflection was pretty in the water. I love how natural this lake is, with its views of trees instead of houses. Now here’s where a fun gator silhouette might have worked in the image!

The pathway back to the parking lot is pretty. Oaks form a canopy over the trail, shielding you from the bright sun. Overhead we heard the cries of eagles and hawks. But the mosquitoes had already started to come out so we hurried back to the car. I’m going to have to head back with a real camera!
