Creatures on the Farm

Here is a sampling of some of the animals, plants, and insects I see here in Fort McCoy, Fla.


A fluffy-legged rooster loiters near the wire fence.


Various fowl include ducks, geese, and chickens.


Baby turkeys hungrily wait for breakfast.


Fat-bottomed geese drink from the refreshing green pond.


Horses Stormy, Star, and Noel live in the barn at night and in the paddock in the day.


Various flowers embellish the garden.


Is their bark worse than their bite? I don't want to find out.


A drowned dragonfly rests in peace in the above-ground pool.


"Bub" is the patriarch of the family.
