Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Philnz]

. The third one showed up for me after I posted my question.

Don't you hate it when that happens. Great photos as always.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Phil. Yes, I hate when that happens.

We were on the sidewalk looking down on a canal. Couldn't get a better angle.

She wouldn't look at me

From the other side of the canal

She finally looked in my direction.

I like her looking to the side better.

About five miles later we came across this Gopher Tortoise where we didn't expect to see one. Usually there's some sort of wire fence to keep them from wandering in the busy road.

Eye see you

Having a snack

After her snack she scurried off.

We pedal pass this complex often. Today I decided to stop for some shots.

Hanging out at the beauty salon this morn. I chopped off my arms on purpose since I discovered this t-shirt is not very flattering. Also, didn't know I did the pinky thing.

I really enjoyed that series Marilynne!

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Ted.

Ya know, it's no wonder I have such trouble keeping up with all of the great shots... 10,000 posts!? Congrats!

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Pretzel, I had no idea I had that many posts. I guess that's how I got the Chatterbox award.

Nice series! I think I know that guy flying in the second photo. You had to get down pretty low for the first shot....... how long did it take to get back up?

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Ted. I was standing for all the photos. Had I gotten on the ground though, Chris would have had to help me get back up!!

BTW, I got a couple of Likes from you this morning. Is it working all the time for you now, or hit and miss?

This R/C plane is also electric and made of foam.

It appears to be hit or miss. It won't work at all on my desk top with Windows 8, but appears to work now with my laptop and Windows 7. I'm lost in all this.

Some entertainment at the flea market. The songs this guy sang made you feel like you were at a wedding.

It takes all kinds. He left the building and I couldn't find him

Trimmed in camera

Not sure which of these I like better, I'm leaning towards the first one.
