in Orlando! yeah I know about the hurricane, we're keeping an eye on it. it's about the same temperature but less ash & more water. I've already seen shovel-tailed grackles & an anhinga!!
TINY CUTE LIZARDS EVERYWHERE. ON THE SIDEWALKS. ON THE LIGHTPOSTS. IN THE BUSHES. -EVERYWHERE-.
seriously I might die of cute tiny lizard overload. also saw a snowy egret and a great blue heron just hanging out in a ditch. and LIGHTNING.
now sleep. :D
had a close encounter with an ibis, who was just hanging out on a walkway. TRASH CHICKEN
saw a least bittern! and I think a grackle. my spellcheck is being a butt with all these bird names.
given my thing with Thoth, I'm endlessly pleased at the abundance of ibises here. also I spotted one of the lizards doing a red throat display!
oh and Disney stuff, yey.
I'd never even heard of a bird called an "anhinga" before, but they're all over the place here. also I need to take pictures of the abundant trash chickens. :D
WELP.
evidently Irma is supposed to get here Monday morning, but by then it should ~only~ be a category 2. Disneyworld is staying open! and we'll be here! it'll be a vacation to remember! o_________o wish us luck!
I have taken pictures of so many birds omg
also I just spent a half-hour floating in a pool pretending to be an alligator. I don't think anybody else in the pool got the reference. I didn't really care. it was FANTASTIC.
