The leaf is another type of Smilax, like the berry photo from Sunday. This is one of the prickly types but I like the unique shape of its leaves. Apparently something else appreciated the shape of the leaf as well. This may have been the cocoon of a leaf rolling caterpillar or a spider's tent.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Park Ranger? This blog will give you a small taste of the responsibilities, the exciting moments, and the awesome views experienced in the park from my perspective. Look back to the archives for a 365 day account of when I was a Park Ranger who promoted to an Assistant Park Manager. Now that the 365 project is complete, I will not post daily, but I will be back to share some exciting moments with you from time to time.

Missing the Park
Today was a frustrating day. Like yesterday, I was not in the park for very long. I had to repeat many of yesterday's steps, including the trip to Ichetucknee because of the end of the month paperwork. When I returned to the park, I had to leave again. I had intended to finally take a mandatory yearly water sample at the well at Adams Tract, but had to put that off again. I had a message on the answering machine that required me to leave the park again and stay away for much longer than I deemed necessary. I can't say many nice things about my day today, so I will share the only two photos that I got while I was in the park this morning and hope for a better day tomorrow. I guess not everyday can be a day at the park.
