A foggy start for the trek to La Chua trail.
Not that I would let the fog stop me after
a week of rain and more rain.

The water level was very high and most of the
gators that usually sun on the banks were not in
sight today... they were either in the canal or in
search of higher ground.

This one and the Heron must be friends.
I see them hanging out together every
weekend . Usually in the same spot near
the end of the open trail.

So another Saturday and another excellent visit
to La Chua ... the heat was tolerable and the mosquitoes
almost non-existent.... and the rain stopped .
