No problem Sunny....that'll be three fitty...
Lovin the Blue Heron. I used to have a regular visiting heron who would hunt my water tanks for Goldfish. Too late! the Green Heron already got them...! I finally gave up on goldfish...like a lure to them.

Wow, I actually named a bird right! I was wondering if that was a blue heron!
There is another bird here that I don't know what it is...It is called a very derogatory name, one I won't say here...But, it can fly like a normal bird but then it dives in the water and can swim UNDERWATER for a long time! At first I thought I had snakes in the canal swimming all over the place because all I would see is their necks sticking up from the water and it looked like a snake....They are black and medium sized, they can go underwater for a LONG time! I would love to know what they are. I will try to get a pic later.

I did wild and wooly wetland work for twenty years. I've seen or encountered just about everything wild in Florida. Always in bare feet...always in bare feet.

That's pretty sweet!! if you add a bit of uncolored and thin oil to the water, you'll get greater droplets separation...helps the effect!

You have snapped a picture of a Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud which look like breaking waves in the ocean. After wind blows up and over a barrier, like a mountain, the air continues flowing through the atmosphere in a pattern that looks like a wave.
These clouds form when there is a difference in the wind speed or direction between two wind currents in the atmosphere.
Sweet!!
Here's a few pic's of my Dahlia's which are now in flower... enjoy!

Hibiscus hmm.. made me look it up as you mentioned your dogs eat them...
According to Dr. William Buck, director of the National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in Urbana, "a lot of ornamental plants have irritating sap that will cause an animal to salivate or maybe vomit and have diarrhea."
He says that plants like the hibiscus and those in the Easter lily family, which are not toxic to people, may be very harmful to pets. Two or three days after cats have eaten a few leaves of a Tiger lily or Easter lily, they will go into renal failure. After ingesting hibiscus, a dog will vomit persistently, may vomit blood and have bloody diarrhea. "The loss of body fluid may be severe enough to be lethal in some cases," Dr. Buck.
That's a no no plant...

Pretty darn sweet.... I'm gonna say number 2 is my fav... definitely a winning pic.
About 2 nights a month the moon gets behind the flight paths of high flying jets here. Missed it last month but I'm on the hunt to try and get one illuminated with the moon as a background... one of these days, I'll produce it for you all....

OMG CJ!!!!!!! You solved a mystery for me!! Gertie, my dog, got very ill and was foaming at the mouth and throwing up and had diarrhea...I rushed her to the vet and he thought it was her pig ears. He said they are made out of the country and are harmful to our pets. So I got rid of all of her ears and everything was fine until WHAM, it happened again! Again I took her to the vet and this time he thought she ate some grass with fertilizers...It was the Hibiscus!!!! OMG!! I have to tell my vet!Hibiscus hmm.. made me look it up as you mentioned your dogs eat them...
