    Where's this pile? I wanted to see a waste dump.

    Great pics. Love the sunrise, most of the bird shots, especially the one with the reflection and the dew shot is my favorite.

    Jody .... Please teach me how to shoot like you! I would be happy, no ecstatic with your "jinormous pile of crap" So many great images .... I liked the Semi-Palm reflection the best or maybe the gull, heck , I can't decide!

    I think that I shall retire my camera after seeing those shots - what an inspiration those captures are.
