This is my stepfather Elliot. He's a big guy and I didn't have to squat down to take this one, I just pointed up and clicked. In a perfect world, I would have had a big piece of white cardboard to stick under his face but if you look closely, you can see his eyes anyway. He thought this looked better in black and white so I obliged. Actually, I don't think he realizes this is going on the internet. Hello Elliot!
We went to the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary today - 2.5 miles of swampy bliss. Apparently SW Florida is in the middle of the worst drought in 100 years. There was hardly any "swampy" area to the sanctuary but we did see some birds and one alligator that looked bored to tears.
