…the day dawned glorious, cool and clear, with the sunrise turning the Spanish moss golden on the shore of Lake Talquin.
Other highlights of this day, May 25th:
Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park, with ceremonial(?) earthen mounds built by “Southern Cult” native peoples who lived there, just north of Tallahassee from 1100-1500 AD but who traded as far away as Duck River in Tennessee, Moundville in Alabama and Etowah in Georgia.
Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological Park: These mounds were built by the (much earlier) Weeden Island people known for their characteristic pottery, and who lived in the area north east of Tallahassee near Lake Miccosukee, Monticello, Florida. Seen on the trail through the area of the mounds: Tiger swallowtail and Black swallowtail!
Next up, Tallahassee Planet Fitness (nice club!) and then — Whole Foods!
In anticipation of our yummy dinner!
Looks like you came across a tiger swallowtail and a black swallowtail and both in the same picture. Lucky you!
