Wild Wednesday: Florida Style

So yesterday we headed out on our bikes, not really sure of our route, just a few ideas in mind. We let the weather tell us when to stop and when to move on. We got stopped by one rain shower and hung out at Lighthouse Beach while we could see another passing the causeway. Other than that, the weather held out for us and the breezy overcast skies made for good cycling weather, so good we did about 21 miles!

Wildlife was plentiful throughout the day, although we have still not seen any signs of the bear that we hear so much about on the news. And I guess we won't see him since they caught him a few hours ago.

Here are some pictures I took yesterday!
