Storks, Sunset and Moonrise at Circle B Bar Reserve, Lakeland, FL

Droves of storks landing on this tree during the brewing storm


One can never tire of visiting Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, for the ever changing scenery of nature and the diversity of wildlife one sees on each visit.

One trail, the Rabbit Marsh Run Trail had been closed most of the Spring due to aggressive alligators during mating season. It was August 12/11 when we finally ventured over on our bicycles to see what was new.
