Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Michael J.]

Thanks Michael. Tried out a different area yesterday.

I have the strong feeling that you improved a huge step up. Love your photos.

This was part of the bike path we were on

Sitting on a bench we noticed this right behind us, luckily it's not connected

Marilynne, I really love to go through your thread. I may never get to travel but I can see some beautiful things with your photography. Thanks for the views.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Michael and Wendy. Every day is a new experience.

We went to two new (for us) parks today and one of our usual wetlands, Wako. Some of the FL birding trails have no birds. We see more along the canals.

We pedaled 38 miles today and walked two one mile boardwalks. Busy day.

Photos tomorrow.

Spotted this off the coast at the north end of the beach in Delray. Not sure what it was doing. Couldn't see the name on the vessel.

Great shots Marilynne, I am envious of your wildlife. It seems you have alot more than we do

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Scott. We do have a lot of wildlife in my little world, but you guys have a lot of different wildlife than we do.

I love this photo.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks crycocyon. I liked the way the trees gave it some sort of frame. I also have this one, but I liked the other better.

After Delray Beach, we pedaled further south to Red Reef Park in Boca Raton.

Spotted this Prairie Warbler that was not cooperating at all. (focus on leaves, not bird)

I see you

The best of the bunch

No. 2 is cool but he looks so glum. Maybe from having to live in captivity.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Ron. This is a rehab facility. The ones in this tank may not be released back in to the wild. They have a sea turtle with "bubble butt" that has weights duct taped to its butt so it can go up and down. Couldn't get a good shot of him.
