Marilynne,

Your photos are making me wish I was back in South Florida!

[Marilynne]

Thank you WM. Way to crowded right now due to the nasty winter up north.

Heading to our local watering hole, Bru's, spotted this woman painting the old depot. She was getting ready to pack up, but waited until I got a couple of shots.

[Marilynne]

She packed up at a good time. About 5 minutes after she left, the FEC train came by spewing shell rock all over the place.

I was in Bru's when I heard the ding ding ding. Grabbed my camera and was a tad late.

This gator was resting beneath the nesting birds. Guess he's waiting for supper.

Not a great shot.

One of the Great Egret eggs in post #3215 hatched.

Couldn't get the correct focus before momma sat down. She was up and down in a flash.

 

[Deezey]

I hope that was that guys first and last time doing that. That is some very bad form. Read the Riot act indeed.

Palm Warbler

What?!

 

[Marilynne]

When I turned the corner getting ready to leave Wako, I happened upon this character. He started to leave when I talked him in to staying around for some shots.

Wonder if I can I break this lock?

Look Ma, I'm on top of the world!!!

Hope I don't get stuck inside

At this point, so noisy folks came up the boardwalk and scared him away. They have been known to get in and not out until the trash guy comes.

They have been known to get in and not out until the trash guy comes.

Or until some unsuspecting person opens the door to make a deposit and has the hee-bee-jee-bees scared out of them when the critter comes out. ::what::

There were a bunch out on Thursday, but this is the only one that wasn't behind something and then it was in the shadow of the fence and I never remember to use the flash.
