Hot, humid, and very wet describes the last week. Three days in a row we woke up to rain, had rain off and on through the day including some heavy thunderstorms, and fell asleep to rain. Desperate to get out, we saw some clearing and took an early morning drive through a local preserve. A flock of Jakes walked through the wet underbrush, and tolerated me getting out of the car and photographing them. Further on, a doe with two fawns froze as our car approached on the road. I took a shot out the window. By the time I exited the car the fawns wandered further away.
With few clouds in the sky we decided to take a walk. A very short walk, as Karl was swatting mosquitoes as soon as we started on the trail. The sun lit up the leaves of a wild coffee plant, and I stopped to photograph it causing the mosquitoes to find me! Back to the car, we left as it darkened up again, and rain started before we arrived home.
