Sorry for taking so long to post these, but our first day on St. George Island was a huge success! After having lunch at the Blue Parrot we headed out on the water in our kayaks and were able to snag a few Speckled Trout.
By far my favorite things to do is take lightning pictures and tonight there was some a huge lightning storm. Sorry about all the clouds ideally there would have been a few less but I think i managed to snag a few decent photos.
The Harvestman ,better known as grand daddy long leg spiders, though they are arachnids they are not actually spiders. They’re in the same Order as spiders (think of them as long lost cousins) but with a few key differences.
While many people have heard the myth that Harvestman have the most poisonous bite of any spider this is not actually true. In fact they don’t even have fangs to be able to inject venom with, they actually have a pair of mandibles which are too small to cause any harm to humans.
Like lizards with their tails Harvestmen can remove their legs to help evade predators, this however is a bit more costly to the Harvestman due to the fact that it can’t grow it’s legs back.
Having a bit of fun with Burton since it was such a nice day out.
Some older photos I completely forgot I had from over the summer.
Now that the wind has finally died down we were able to travel around the mountain a bit and hit a few of our favorite spots.
Day one is officially in the books for the Baumgardner troop, here are a few of the best shots of the day. After a really windy day we were restricted to only one or two trails hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better.
