Joe took me to Myakka State Park in 2001 wasn't it, Joe? We were on a bridge with the most alligators I have ever seen in a mudhole under the bridge. It was wall to wall and imagining falling off that bridge was mighty anxiety provoking!

I am seeing lots of migratory birds now that are going into breeding...wood storks, great egrets, eagles, and lots of exotic ducks like mergansers. A snowy, owl was near Jacksonville last week and was the talk of the birding community.

I haven't been getting many photos because of caring for dad who we are trying to keep in his Westminster duplex as long as possible before nursing home care. I just moved my office across town and there are some nearby ponds with tons of birds so I am taking my camera to work and stopping for photos along the way.

Both my kayaks have holes and cracks and I have to mix up the epoxy or whatever it is to fix them before I go out again.
