Lochabar Beach

Relaxing for a few moments with friends after the Gordon Beach visit. Lochabar Beach has a huge blue hole, not as big as Dean's Blue Hole.
Love the beach umbrella made from found things!!

South Long Island

Pretty blue shutters on a classic Bahamian home. Third photo of a "Junkanoo" Bar on the roof, supposed to ward off evil spirits. Wall with conch shells. A few of the sights on the way to Gordon's Beach.

Goats near Grey's Plantation

Thursday, February 23 2012, on our shopping, Happy hour day we drove up a side road came upon this huge herd of goats, near the ruins of Grey's Plantation on the Atlantic side. The man was giving them grain.
It was getting late, so we decided to save exploring Grey for another day.

Palm Chair

My latest project, found the metal chair at the dump, clipped some palm fronds from the yard, started wrapping the chair with the fronds. I have a very crude seat for it. Not sure where to go with this - (back to the dump??)

Bahamian Wrappers!!

Long Island sea glass found on the beach + creative women made for a fantastic evening!!
The guys stayed in the kitchen....

Fort Lauderdale

Everglades - birds

Everglades - Roseate Spoonbill

A real beauty, pink with large red stripe.

Fort Lauderdale

Hibiscus along marina near Docker's.

Everglades - Anhinga

These birds dive - they stay under for a long time, once they emerge from the water they have to dry out their wings before they can fly. So it is dive, eat catch of the day, dry out the wings, fly to the next spot!

Everglades National Park

This part of the Everglades is very close to Florida City. Photos from
Royal Palm - Anhinga Trail, birds and alligators every where. If this alligator gets much bigger it will have to find different lodging.

Key West

Met Sponge Bob, he's a big guy.

Islamaroda Key - Pelicans

Outside the Bass Pro shop is a fish cleaning station on the dock. These beggars were waiting for handouts. Big brawls broke out over who got the fish guts. A couple of nurse sharks and tarpons were cruising the water, but they didn't stand a chance, the pelicans never let anything fall to the water.

Yummy

Baby back - mashed sweet potatoes, on way to the Keys

Deadman's Cay Airport

Hibiscus shrubs at edge of runway.
