Encyclia Tampensis and the tired Snake

[Swamper]

Just wanted to share some pics from the Fakahachee trip yesterday. Forget the bugs and animals the big killer was the incredible heat this snake I picked up for a quick picture and released him. He didn't feel very lively, I think he was very thirsty.I hope he makes it but I doubt it. After almost giving up myself from heat exhaustion I came up on these beautiful blooming butterflies.
When I got back home I heard it rained in Miami all day. I've never prayed for rain so much while I was out there. I think I really cooked some brain cells. Anyway for those of you who like the outdoors...enjoy
