Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff 2015
- Thread starter Marilynne
- Start date
This morning started out warm, 62, then the front moved through. Temps dropped to low 50's with the rain and wind.
Spotted this dragonfly clinging to a column.
This was the sun trying to peak out.
The sun finally did come back out and the temps did get up to 60 again. It's suppose to be in the high 30's in the morn. Not looking forward to that at all!!!

Marilyn, I just got home from work and made sure the door is shut, alright! The temp outside is currently at 43 and headed down to the low-to-mid-twenties tonight.
I'm about to start up the fireplace!!

They may open some shelters Ron. There are a lot of older homes that do not have heat. Reports are we hit a high of 54 today. It was 50 at noon and really windy. I don't know how you northerners do it.

We are tough. I do seem to remember when i visited relations inFlorida years ago that many homes were built without any provisions for heat. None of my relations had that problem though because they had auxiliary heating systems in their homes, probably because they were transplanted Northerners and were use to having heat systems built into their homes.

Very nice bird and reptile photos, colors are nice. I think I'd want more than 500mm between me and that snake.
ps - We all have "heat pumps" now, they heat or cool.

Thanks Denny.
Do any diving in the Crystal River? That is where they have the caves, isn't it? We own a couple of acres on Drayton Island in the St. John's River. Haven't been there in quite some time.

Crystal River does have some caves but I don't do caves!! Great scallops and redfish and lots of bass lakes all with lots of stuff to photograph.
The St Johns River is very pretty.
