wow. just- wow.
so cool, all of it-worthy of a DeadHead----actually BEYOND worthy as you had to face actual wildlife (chuh-"timid" or not, I am NOT getting into ANY water with ANY sort of croc or gator anywhere near it. Example: I might take a chance and swim in a lake in Maine but no way am I swimming in any Florida puddle) but I digress----
that was awesome and it seems life affirming for you. Isn't nice when the Universe gives presents like that? and I'm so glad to see the back of your, well....back. But again, I would NEVER get in that water. It looks like it has a very squishy bottom like you're walking on raw eggs. I can only stand sugary-white sands in my lakes. No muck. But see, I"m a wuss. I also would've required an outlet for my blowdryer.
Beautiful country-so wild looking. Now: come on. Let's see your eyes!
