I'm one of the lucky folks that have a great boss...I can use my computer and do what I want when I'm not busy. Mind you that's not often but I do manage to pop in and out of DG during the day...

This is one of my favorite swamp shots...it is looking across a series of sloughs (or one large one, I'm not sure how that's figured). In this picture you can see Cypress, Sabal Palm, Fraxinus caroliniana aka pop ash and Annona glabra aka pond apple trees as well as native ferns and airplants.

It's incredible Blooms...every natural thing in the swamp is recycled, over and over. We found very little refuse and what there was, was old...old beer cans and soda bottles, no screw tops or pop tops. We packed out the very few things we found.

I hope to get that odd spider IDed eventually. I've never seen one before...I'd rather have a horse of a different color Ü
