As if at any moment a dinosaur will emerge from behind a palmetto stand.

Only instead of lions we have panthers.
Somewhere between 100 and 200 at last count.

Love that optical illusion!
Do you get to see many panthers? I know that the Florida panther has been growing in numbers and wondered if they are as stealthy as their Western cousins.
I am amazed that the panthers survive!
Over the past 12 years I've seen exactly one. At first I thought it was a huge dog, then just as immediately I saw it for what it was ... and then even quicker it disappeared into the pines.
It's an interesting and varied landscape. I've learned most of what little I know about it since I've been reading your blog.
Must have been exciting to glimpse a panther. Maybe one day you'll have a chance to photograph one.
