Another crooked picture. Really, I take a few that are not crooked. Gulls were chasing this boat down. Guess it was stirring up some kind of bait fish. Out of Empire, La. in the Gulf. Saw the big boat coming at us after we came thru the flood gate and then saw the wall of gulls. Ramona Here is a link that might be useful: my blog

I'mmmmm baaaack! I didn't realize I was the first last week. I was just anxious to post a pic before I left. I just chose a theme a couple weeks ago so, hopefully, Bigack will get us started soon. As for backpacking; I'm going to have to find some people closer to my own age (53) to go with soon. All five of my kids (ages 27 to 15) went this year and they're going to run me into the ground soon. If I wasn't the one carrying the map I think they might have abandoned me out there. Ron

I'm right behind you, Pam. That picture reminds me so much of central Florida. Yes, welcome Lukkiirish! Do we call you Lukk, or Irish? Or something else? Temps are in the 90s today, so to cool off I thought I'd sneak in a creek:
