We just returned from the Everglades and have I got the filled memory cards to prove it! I decided there were simply too, too many for a single post so I've declared this week Everglades Week over at the S/V Mari Hal-O-Jen!

First up - Birds of the Everglades

Beautiful! I love that D40x. What lens did you use? And what settings?

I especially love the anhinga photos--reminds me of the first one I ever saw, in FL, of course!

Thanks for your kind comments, ladies!

MacBeth, I had the telephoto on (it's the Nikkor 55-200mm) for most of the photos and I was playing around with all sorts of settings, just having fun and experimenting.

Chari, you do have a TON of snow! The shots of your roof are terrific.

Here's today's offering -
Soakin' Up the Sun

Chari, you have the best views of the mountains, simply beautiful!

Today I had even more help with my topic. Marianna jumped right in the middle once she discovered I was posting about the Alligators.

Enjoy!

Fewer pictures today, the computer I'm on currently is giving me fits! But I still had fun taking these photos, the tree snails were way up in a tree and I could zoom in on them so very easily. Pretty neat way to observe without disturbing something!

Thursday's Post -
The Pinelands
