It did rain a few days while we have been here at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, FL, but there have also been some beautiful days, and on those days we have walked some of the trails and went back to the beach. Here are some pictures:

Besides the Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful sugar-white sandy beach there are some coastal dune lakes here in the park. These are small bodies of water found in the sand dunes next to the beach. No swimming here because there could be alligators, but we did not see any.

Today, on our way back, two deer met us on the path. They didn’t seem too bothered by us. We just sat on a bench for a while and watched them.

Deer!

It’s been very quiet in the park. We almost have the place to ourselves. Things should get busy soon as the snowbirds come south after the holidays.

Tomorrow morning we leave Topsail and move about 100 miles west towards Pensacola, Florida.
