Last Day...Today!

Our cut to the beach from the campground.
Steve walking out on the jetty to check for bait.
Bird shots...because I do that...

Here is the final view from the top of the bus over the dunes.

We had a fabulous time.

Steve didn't catch his tarpon this trip either...

hooked twice, but didn't land it!

There's always next year...

Second Day at Beach

Steve fighting a shark and loving it!
Kiss while snorkeling

There are deer at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park.
While snorkeling for scallops, we saw so many cool critters.

Here is a conch...with creature still inside!

Louie kept watch over the bait tank for everybody...

I think he is trying to figure out how to catch the fish inside!

We'd let Louie jump in and swim around to cool off

while we snorkeled. He loves the water!

Tons of sand dollars to be found.

Here is a live one that I quickly photographed, and put back.

First Day Down

This is our site, Karen & Van in the background leftThat is my speckled trout that Steve is so

kindly holding up for me...the biggest one of trip.

Louie on point loving his first trip out in the boat in Florida

There are always storms in the afternoon.

We ran through a little rain, but no lightning!

Cool bird on the seawall coming into the boat ramp.Louie supervising the cleaning of supper.

Catch included Speckled Trout, Red, and Spanish.

Van had already cleaned the scallops on the water.

Quick Trip to FL

We had just pulled into the parking lot from drive down. Had to dodge
storms & tornadoes, but so worth it!
More photos of snorkling & fishing to follow. :)

Sunflower Crop

Pretty excited about these nine...9...NINE plants.
9 out of the like 200 I planted. What I did was set out a beautiful
buffet for my squirrels.
Should have tied little napkins around their tiny necks before I left!
All good! I have nine that may bloom!

Out the Window...

Ok, so Steve and I have a little down time.

We are unpacking a few things.

Washing enough clothes and towels for a small country.

Steve is trying to dry out his boat...still.

We have great windows in the house.

Louie noticed first what sounded like someone pecking on the front door.

I looked out to see this squirrel chewing on our gutters.

Anyone have an explanation for this one?

Front yard hummingbird feeder always busy.

Caught this guy on the limb...which is hard. The suckers are fast and small,

difficult to focus and catch. He's about to take off.

Yes, our squirrels have fleas.

This one is scratching in the Dogwood.

Finds for the Day

Mark, Steve, & I braved rains of Faye to yard sale this morning. 7 am
start! Found a few deals. Louie's favorite is the pink exercise ball!
He thinks it's his new perch!
Not fights over junk today...pretty mellow.
