It’s that time of year again… the banana spiders hang everywhere! Despite their scary size, these spiders are pretty mellow (unlike the small but aggressive crab spiders). I went to the local Halloween Spirit superstore. It was very scary 😱 Another lovely evening at Green Cay with @rattlebox333 It was the evening of mommas & babies. This momma raccoon had three babies with her, cute as puppies but too squirrely for me to get a good shot. We saw a momma grebe feeding her baby, and a family of hawks (maybe coopers? hard to see markings in dusky light) fly overhead. Pretty sunset at Green Cay. The spoonbills are back, and the kingfisher, and we saw a water snake and two baby basilisks. #eveningwalk with @rattlebox333 #sunset #southflorida #naturelove Spied this window kitty on my evening walk. And they spied me. This is an Eastern Red-Spotted Newt. Since Elsa tracked us from FL all the way to NY, we spent the rainy days here tracking newts. We must have seen twenty or more, in varying sizes but almost exclusively (all but one) in this juvenile stage (indicated by bright orange body) called “red eft.” These are fascinating little creatures that live first in water (with gills), then morph to land-dwelling (with lungs), then morph back to water-dwelling to reproduce (in this final adult stage, their body color shifts to a drab olive tone but the bright spots ringed in black remain - we saw just one of these on land, ostensibly making his way back toward a body of water to find a mate). These newts can live for up to 15 years! I ❤️ them. #easternredspottednewt #mohonk with @rattlebox333 #rainydays #critters #tinycreatures #salamander #redspottednewt #newyork #catskillsmountains I’m behind on posting photos from our recent X-state adventure. We spent our post-Sanibel weekend in Big Cypress and this adorable sign greeted us upon arriving at our home base: Clyde Butcher’s Swamp Cottage. You can see the forest reflecting in the glass window. @rattlebox333 & I were really IN it and spent hours watching the gator hole outside our window. More pics coming… #bigcypress #explorebigcypress #clydebutcher #swampcottage This poster sums up the vibe in Sanibel so well. The library is beautiful and spacious and has such functional workspaces (even outdoors with the trees whispering at the water’s edge) that I can honestly say it’s the best writing workspace I’ve ever enjoyed. I set up my office at the Sanibel Library for a day. Without a doubt the most beautiful and spacious and delightful office I’ve ever had. This was the fabric on some of the cushy reading chairs.
