We are expecting storms and much needed rain this afternoon, but wanted to get out and about this morning before the weather became too dynamic. We really enjoy going down to Twin Rivers Park at the convergence of the ICW, Indian River, St. Lucie River, Manatee Pocket, and the St. Lucie Inlet. Gopher Tortoises abound here and there are quite a few burrows cordoned off to protect their habitat. Today they were all out in the sun at the entranceways of their homes. We saw more than the photos below, but they all start to look the same, except the first photo which the tortoise was huge and barely fit in his burrow that is shaped like his shell. Enjoy...
