17th Street Bridge in Fort Lauderdale. The Everglades.... Baby birds in the Everglades.

An alligator, probably a 6-7 foot long one. Totally cool! Hello... it's back. It would go under and swim toward the boat. You could see the grass parting as it swam. A burst of bubbles and mud and under it would go again...

Back up again, with the Everglades in the background. Another shot... I was suprised at how excited I was to finally see this animal. It was very cool and I was hoping it would come closer.... Anna checks out the Saw grass. It's sharp and he (Capt. Bob, our guide) wasn't joking when he said it would cut you.

A shot of some tree's they are removing from the Everglades. Man messes with nature... then man tries to fix it. Doesn't work very well. Sad. Another Everglades shot of tree's they are trying to remove from the Everglades. The "main" bike trail at Quiet Waters Park.

A bit of the "intermediate" trail in Quiet Waters. It was challenging enough with lots of roots, coral rocks and squirrels... yes, squirrels were a hazard. (: Through the tree's and into the sand pit... that was a suprise that came around the corner. These are my kinds of trails... (:

A scenic shot at Quiet Waters. Not quite Florida... this shot was taken 1/2 way to Bimini, Bahamas. Bimini Island in the Bahama's.

Sea birds in Bimini. Ah..... Finally. My Jimmy Buffet moment arrived. The Brownie's unit on the deck of the boat.

Shannon and I are hamming it up on the boat deck. A shot at the back side of Bimini. Another view of the white sand on the western side of Bimini. Absolutely beautiful.

Blue, blue, blue waters and sky. A perfect, tropical day. Sunset on the way back to Fort Lauderdale. Sunset before leaving Bimini.

Boats tie up to party, camp and hang out on this beach front. More blue water.... inviting isn't it?
