OPENING DAY!

Watch out! Here come the Florida Marlins - the youngest team in baseball - average age, 26 - and the lowest combined salary in the league. Opening day game - we crushed the Washington Nationals 12-6. Go Marlins!

MOMMA AND HER BABY

A mother manatee and her baby found their way up our canal today. Each time it happens we consider it a special gift to be able to observe them. Note the prop scars on Momma - all healing, though. (click on picture to enlarge) The second picture is of the baby nursing. How sweet is that?!

Run, puppy, run!

IT'S SPRING!

A pair of tropical kingbirds are nesting in the end of our davits!







Momma and Daddy!

THE GREEN FLASH!

I have been trying to capture the green flash with my camera for those of you who haven't seen it. Yes, it does exist - promise! We have been out for sunset on the bay the last 6 nights and have seen it 4 times! Unfortunately, it is visible to the naked eye but not through the camera lens - at least not yet! I will keep trying!

Heading down the canal for sunset on the bay!


Some hungry pelicans looking for a snack!


Beautiful Dakota Kate!


How special is this day - sunset and a full moon rising!

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN MARCH!

I thought some of you would like to see what happens to a poinsettia when you plant it in your yard in the Florida Keys after Christmas is over!!!!!
