Six Mile Cypress


Exercise is important for an older person so we finally made it to the body pump class and did an hour's worth of exercise. This got us ready for the luncheon the group was having at The Grape. Mary, Ann, Nancy, and Martha are ready to chow.



Later in the day we drove down to Six Mile Cypress Swamp to walk the 1.2 mile boardwalk and watch the birds come in to roost for the night. The cypress trees were putting out new pale fresh green leaves. Of more interest were the birds above.


The birds were coming in right on schedule.  Most were egrets although there appeared to be some others mixed in.

It wasn't sunset at the beach but it wasn't bad either.





I kept telling Mary to come on as it I thought we might wish we had brought along some flashlights.


The forest included many ferns and bromeliads.
