Mom and I spent the weekend in Inverness. We went to visit my Aunt Mary and Uncle Larry in nearby Beverly Hill which, incidentially, makes them the Beverly Hillbillies!
I stopped and took some photos at City Park and the nearby old-town historic district. The sun was so bright that some are not worth sharing. The first is the City Park and Cooter Pond mascot. I was reading a sign that says next week is their local Cooter festival. For those that don't know, a Cooter is a turtle.
The trees were covered in Spanish moss. Normally it looks cool to me (as in temp) because it sways in the breeze but with Halloween decorations out, it looks kinda spooky.
Here's a close up of some that fell out of a tree. I didn't touch it because someone once told me it has these little red bugs in it, similar to fleas. I don't know if that's true but I want nothing to do with biting bugs thank you.
There is a gazebo, board walk, and what I would call a small lake but it is a pond.
Photo taken from the gazebo - you tell me, pond or lake?
You don't have to tell me twice!
Looking up at the gazebo construction.
The trail is measured and marked.

Next we headed a block or two away to the old town. It has a courthouse that is on the registry of historic places. This is where the sun was glaring so I couldn't even see what I was shooting. This is the best of the worst.
Ending with a lovel oak covered in Spanish moss.

As you may remember, Spanish Moss is one of my favorite epiphytes! I lived in Gainesville, but don't remember ever going through Inverness. Looks like a beautiful place!
Beautiful photos! The moss-covered oaks were my favorite part of living in the South! I even miss seeing the gators once in a while :)
