Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus
On Wednesday, 3/14, we found another hidden gem. Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge hugs the St. John's River and includes earthen dikes around water impoundment areas. We biked along these raised paths enjoying the warmth, the open sky, the expansive views and the dinosaurs. Yes, they certainly looked like dinosaurs to me! One big-ass gator was spread across our path and, when he raised his massive self up on all fours, I thought, “My, Lord! That must be a stegosaurus!” We gaped as he lumbered into the water and submerged in the muck. My hat blew off, I couldn’t get the camera set, and we missed the photo op of the day. But, hey, all fingers and toes are present and accounted for. Whew!
