Its a Jungle Out There

If you have never visited south Florida, the extent of the wildlife could come as a shock. After living here for almost two months I am begining to feel like Snow White with the animals singing and flitting around her. When I step out the door in the morning I am greeted by the two tree frogs that live on the window. Rosy and Al (the albino tree frog) are happy to poke thier heads up to see who is coming out the door. As my heels click on the stone dozens of tiny lizards go scattering in every direction. Just as I am about to reach my car a 9 inch land crab scuttles accross the path. Apparently my morning leaving lets him know its time to move from the fern to the potted plant to spend his day. As I drive through the neighborhood I pass the ponds with the herons and finally as I go through the gaurd gate I can see raccoon eyes watching from the shrubs. Living in south Florida is the next best thing to living in the zoo, which was my 8 year old ambition. I guess dreams really do come true!
