It looked like there were about a dozen sparrows sitting on this fence. Most of them flew off before I got the camera out. I suspect there might be a nest in the bushes next to the fence.

Willet (hillside plants)
Spotted near the coast, probably along the hillside above the beach, or possibly in the park at the top of the bluffs.
Umbrella Paper Wasp (on windshield)
Florida Softshell Turtle (Wilderness Park)
I don’t know if these turtles are actually wild or stocked. (I assume the fish are stocked, but the ducks are just visiting!) But this looks like a different type of turtle than the ones I saw on a visit a couple of years later.
Identified on iNaturalist as a Florida Softshell, most likely a released pet.

Western Sycamore
This was in front of an office building that’s currently being remodeled as a hotel. At the time it was still open, but they’d already stopped seriously maintaining the grounds, so seeds from the landscaping trees actually had time to grow.

Heteromeles
Plantain
Blue-eyed Grasses
I walk the north side of this road all the time and have never seen these tiny blue flowers. But they’re all over the south side of the same street.
