Taste of the Keys
I didn't get many pictures, at all. This would be a combination of a Friday migraine (first one since, uh, before the Galapagos, so pre-May), sleeping in, and doing things where I dared not take my camera.
Man, I wanted some rooster pictures. I saw two mama chickens with their chicks, too, but had no camera. They will have to wait until next time, I guess. Here are the pictures I've uploaded so far. I may have a few more keepers, but I have no patience for going through them again right now.
This egret had fishing line on his back. It pissed me off -- $&%(! fisherman -- but he seemed okay anyway. He was fishing (successfuly) and could fly, so let's hope it stays that way.
Chris was out at the car looking for a sleeveless shirt (this will make a few of you giggle), so I amused myself by taking lots of pictures of our water glasses. I think our nice waitress thought I was silly. This was at the Green Turtle Inn. I have passed this place many times -- even stopped to get a picture of the sign as, at night, the turtle looks like it's swimming. But this is the first time I ate there. I was displeased to discover that they actually serve TURTLE there. Green Turtle Chowder. We both hoped it meant it was just a house specialty, so we asked. Farmed, the waitress assured, which did not assure much. Do we even farm turtles here in the States???
Walking the trail. (Cameraphone picture. I again love the BlackBerry. The pics ain't SLR quality, but it sure is nice to have a camera on you sometimes when you don't want to lug the big guy around.)
Yours truly in dorky hat. (Cameraphone picture.)
This guy made me laugh a little. I think he knew I was taking his picture.
Pretty place, eh?
We went to the cemetary, but didn't stay long... it being high noon and melty weather and all. And Chris was getting bummed out by the graves. I did get some flower pictures, though. This place is legendary... colorful locals putting colorful stuff on their gravestones and whatnot. That will be for another time.
An eagle ray. A non-spectacular picture, but I took this thing from a BRIDGE, so what do you want from me??? ;)
It is SO SO SO pretty there. Hopefully Chris will have to cover that office again soon... ¶ 10:15 PM
