Bear and Ruby #dogfriends #morningwalk Savannas Preserve.

What’s more special than finding a sand dollar? Finding hundreds of living sand dollars burrowing in the sand flats in the Indian River Lagoon off south Hutchinson Island, past the Stuart Sandbar and within sight of the House of Refuge. The living sand dollars had a velvety red-brown skin and were mostly visible just at the edges, as dark circles in the pale sand. We borrowed an Everglades flats boat from the boat club today - first trip out in a few (busy) months. #sanddollars are #seaurchins and have fivefold #radialsymmetry so cool

Ruby is a dog silhouette at dawn. #beachsunrise #gsd #floridasummer #daybreak #goodmorning #hutchinsonisland #stuartflorida
