Tried to see a shuttle launch which was rescheduled, and ended up at the Viera Wetlands. And later met up with Harry.

    Wow! I love all of these, but especially the Anhinga, because the bird and the fish are both so sharp. Did you see the bird eat the fish? Great photos! Best, Pam

    "Anhinga with a snack." rolleyes1.gif Looks more like dinner.
    The Limpkin is waiting for Harry to come by with a Corona. How else do you think he gets them to pose.
    Great shots, hope to get down there some day.
    Al - Just a volunteer here having fun

    The limpkin looks like he's trying to figure out what he's going to say at the meeting when he gets to the office.:D

    Cool shot, Glenn.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    This. :)

    Just an awesome series.
    I hope the Anhinga is planning to share that fish with its large family... Looks like enough fish to feed a human or two!

    I thought I sensed a disturbance in the force a while back. headscratch.gifeek7.gifD Nice set Glenn. Quite the variety. Looks like you had a good haul at Viera. I hope to get up that way soon.
