Today, I woke up and raced outside to photo the mist coming up from the swamp.
I found an incredible bird-of-prey [anyone know what he is?] waiting for me-- and a FIELD of spider webs... all wet with dew and shiney from the backlit of the sun.
INCREDIBLE!
Just when I thought there was nothing magical to see... it was overwhelmingly beautiful.
I went to the SLOUGH.. to see birds and gators...
saw a coot, anhinga, many gators... and soft shell turtle digging her nest... and many spiders and bugs...
It was wonderful.
I will return again tonight...
!!
Yesterday, I drove 12 miles to shoot the sunset from Pay-a-ho-kee Point-- but.... forgot my CAMERA! [can you believe???}
anyway, drove all the way back to my cabin... and had to content myself with shooting the sunset from a different vantage point. Tonight.. I may repeat my quest...
It is rainy now.. thunderstorms.
Spent the day doing a small painting.
I will go to the BIG CYPRESS SWAMP tomorrow. It's the other side of the EVERGLADES.

Great photos - love the hawk (looks like a red-tailed hawk but can't be sure without seeing the tail feathers) and the spider web with dew! Such an adventure and you are taking full advantage of it :)
truly beautiful wildlife here rhonda.. in EVERY direction! I am ignorant of most of it... but i try to figure it out later. there are a few birds... not as much as in winter.
