St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge

Visited a good friend in Tallahassee last night and couldn't resist visiting St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. So glad I did. It was windy but it kept the no-see-ums down.

I didn't walk any of the wooded trails - just those that went along wetlands. The best thing about today was the fact that there were so few people and I had much of the refuge to myself (which helps when you drink a lot of coffee). 

My lesson: constantly check exposure. Lots of pics were overexposed but I'm figuring out Picasa's photoediting features.
