Nice orchid! There are epiphytic orchids that are supposed to be in my county, but I've never found any.
I don't plan to have any livestock.
Nice! You're practically my neighbor lol. Got tons of deer here too, and some leucistic squirrels. My wife and my boy see the foxes from time to time waiting on the bus in the morning, but these pics are the only time I've ever seen them.
Thank you! I grew up in this very neighborhood, and I had seen gators from time to time when I was younger, but it's been years since I saw one.
Eight whole acres
Good size! Have you checked out Meadowview biological research center?Nice orchid! There are epiphytic orchids that are supposed to be in my county, but I've never found any.

I have! I've spoken with Dr. Sheridan a time or two as well. I work more closely with the North American Sarracenia Conservancy however, largely due to proximity. Their board members are all located quite a bit closer to me than are the Meadowview folks. I'm hoping to organize my efforts into a 501c3 akin to what Meadowview is doing, to accomplish the same type of goals farther south.
Good stuff! Was that for Nights of Lights in St Augustine?
No, it was a thing they do at the okeefenokee park in waycross, they have lights all over the woods and you ride a train through to see them.
I've been on that! The day we went though, we decided to sit in one of the open cars, and one of those freak southern storms rolled through and it rained like hell
I'm friends with one of the biologists at the Folkston station at the Okefenokee now, so I can kinda get into the swamp without having to jump through the normal hoops now lol
I checked my trail cam today to find something really cool. Evidently, the Preserve is home to large predators! Yesterday morning a pair of adult foxes crossed the path of the camera. I can't put into words how amazing this is to me. I hope in the spring they'll have cubs!
