Cruising down the trail, not two feet from Leecy, stands a small Nine Banded Armadillo. Somehow Leecy didn’t notice this creature as I guess she was looking up, not down. I whisper, STOP, LOOK! This Armadillo then slowly walks back into the woods. I start taking pictures, neither of us saying a word. This small Armadillo then goes about his business looking for insects.

Slowly, this little guy starts walking back towards us. He nearly walks right across Leecy’s toes (seriously). Apparently these guys don’t have such great eyesight nor care too much about nail trimming:-)
