Just some random photos taken during walks over the past few days.
The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
No, not a moonscape--these are Ant Lion traps under a bridge, where they are protected from rain.
A colorful bromeliad in a neighbor's front yard.
Snowy Egret hunting along the lake shore.
A squirrel eating what looks like might be an invasive Air Potato.
At the shore, it's mating season for the Horseshoe Crabs.
One of the local cruise ships departing Tampa Harbor for the Caribbean.
And now it's your turn. What's randomly happening in your neck of the woods? :)
