Today we went to Stephen C. Foster State Park in Georgia. After three days of bad and cold weather, it was pleasant to be outside and in nature again.

The state park is located inside the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. We walked one of the nature trails near the trading post. A large and sleepy barred owl let us get really close. (Photo by quoderat.)

There were many green anoles out to devour the plentiful bugs. (Photo by quoderat.)

Black gums and cypress were the predominant trees on this trail. (Photo by zanna.)

We also watched a small dragonfly (species unknown) just having emerged, leaving the exuvia behind and flying away for the first time.
