We lived in West Palm for 3 years through Hurricanes Frances, Wilma, and one other, but I never knew that wetland area was there. Maybe when we come down to go on our next cruise in late September we will check it out....but it might not be as active! I was in sales down there, on commission so I wouldn't have had time to explore very much.

We did go to Everglades City and did a mangrove airboat tour which was cool. I'd love to live down there again. I really miss it!

So you lived here in 2004 and 2005 for those hurricanes.

If you make it here, I'll gladly show you Wako, Green Cay and Loxahatchee if we're in town.

Do you cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale or Miami?

Last two times it was Miami...this time on the Allure, we're going out of Lauderdale....we usually get there a day or 2 ahead of time, so that would be awesome!

Chris and I were having a discussion yesterday after he viewed my red winged blackbird shots. He told me I was using the wrong lens. He felt I should be using the 18-55mm since the birds were so close. I told him that the birds would be real tiny if I used that lens.

This was to prove my point using the 55-300mm.

55mm - I know, I chopped off part of his head

300mm

I don't know if he gave up or gave in after I showed him these shots.

After the remote control stuff, we pedaled to Loxahatchee and met up with our friend Ron.

When this young man hooked a bowfin fish. He asked the nearest person to help bring it in since George wanted it.

So is this what you do Marilynne? Cut off the top o heads of those who disagree with you. That seems a little harsh

Yes Ron, that's the punishment for not believing me - off with the top o' the head!!

Have you seen all of my headless birds in the almost thread? They didn't behave either!:rolleyes:

Now you are sounding like " Hard hearted Hanna from old Savannah, down by the seashore, pouring water on a drowning man"
