On Sunday afternoon, the weather was so nice that we took a drive into Jefferson County. We stopped to walk the boardwalk along one end of Lake Miccosukee. Because of the extended drought, the large lake is down to a series of sinkholes that are no longer connected.
This fish was quite stationary. We believe it to be a mudfish. It was good-sized: over a foot long.
I was hoping to find some fall leaves to take back to show my kindergartners on Monday but the prettiest fall colors were found on the poison ivy!
