this is where we launched from - that's not fog - it's smoke from all the fires here - currently over 230 wildfires in florida.
dang, where's my rod and reel when i need them???
getting close!!! that's a cypress swamp normally - florida is in extreme drought, hence the wildfires...
ummm... this may be harder than we thought... that grass is 5' tall - and so am i...
found it!!! and it only took us 20 minutes or so... he was calling on the patron saint of lost items... apparently there is no need to bury a statue for this saint...
no, that's not your eyes - it's blurry on purpose - if i let you see the coordinates, i'd have to kill you... now that's a fine piece of technology recovered... and the bird was definitely d-e-a-d dead.
this one's not!!! that's a limpkin... or so i was told by the expert.
sooo beautiful!
wow - such beauty in the midst of hard times - the cypress roots are exposed due to the drought.
bonus!!! that's a bald eagle eyeing us from the top of a palm tree missing it's crown - probably from a hurricane.

sorry about the spacing... i tried to get it even, to no avail.
blogger apparently doesn't agree with double spacing between each picture and comment. oh, well...
Oh my goodness, these pictures are beautiful! Especially the pics of the limpkin, the water is so calm and reflects the roots and everything so perfectly. I know that forest fires are a natural way forest growth is perpetuated, it's just sometimes hard to understand that immediately when you see the distruction from the fires.
Oh, and that picture of the bald eagle is magnificent. Such a regal animal.
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Can't wait to see more.
thanks, nate! the limpkin is a bird in the first pics of the cypress roots... he's kinda hard to see, as my zoom couldn't get in tight enough to get a good shot.
the shot of the eagle was taken by the captain... all of mine look like some odd shaped something-or-other on top of a really tall pole... but i agree, it's a great shot and a beautiful bird.
