Encyclia Tampensis and the tired Snake
 

:hello Just wanted to share some pics from the Fakahachee trip yesterday. Forget the bugs and animals the big killer was the incredible heat:tombstone: 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.:scratchhead: I've never prayed for rain so much while I was out there. I think I really cooked some brain cells.:shock: Anyway for those of you who like the outdoors...enjoy

playing with cottonmouths:whew

Great photos you CRAZY MAN!!! :shock:

Glad you made it back safely. Thanks for sharing!

Dave, he was so docile, that's why I picked him up, VERY carefully.
Glad you liked the photos Tin.
Royal Im glad I made it back safely too. Specially so I can get the orchids I ordered from you.....:)

Dumb question :hmm : Snakes don't drink water from the swamp? Or was the swamp dry also?

Great photos!

Like Springsteen's River..."went down to the river but the river was dry"
PS I am not only the king of dumb questions sometimes dumb answers too

Those were great pics. Wish I was there...I love hiking.
